"The line graph illustrates the amount of goods which was delivered by road, water, rail and pipeline in the UK from 2000 to 2005".
Should I use "amount" or "amounts" in this case? (I am writing a report of a line graph with 4 lines, each of which depicts the amount of cargo transported by a particular mode of transport shown above)
Thanks in advance!

With 4 lines, you need "which were" instead of "which was", but I'm not sure you can't still use 'amount'.
