SAMPLE ANSWER
The graph shows the number of trips made by passengers on three railway systems in Great Britain between 1950 and 2004/05.
Overall, it is clear that the trends for all three networks were upward with the similarity between the National rail network and the London Underground.
To specify, the number of passenger railroad in National rail network increased slightly from 1950 to 1960 about 200 million before falling considerably over the 20 years later. Likewise, in the same period, those in London Underground leveled off around approximately 700 million and then, it reached the lowest point at 500 million in the 1980s. After that, both of them jumped quickly and between the 1980s and the early 2000s, the national rail network reached a peak of approximately 1.1 billion passenger journeys in 2004/05.
By contrast, after their introduction in the 1960s, the light railway and metro systems carried fewer passengers than the other two networks. However, between 1980 and 2004/05, the number of journeys made by passenger climbed dramatically, to nearly 200 million in 2004/05.
