Pärast 1980.-81. aastate majanduskriisi otsustas valitsus vähendada söetoodangut 95 miljoni tonnini. Kolm viiendikku kivisöest kaevandatakse Lääne-Yorkshire'is ja Ida-Midlandsis (vt. kaarti 3). Kaart 3. Ida-Midlands üks tähtsamaid kivisöe kaevanduspiirkondadest. Veonduses on olulisel kohal meretransport. Teise maailmasõjani valdas Suurbritannia suurimat kaubalaevastikku. Suurim sadam on London, järgnevad naftasadamad Sullom Voe ja Milford Haven. Siseveeteid on umbes 2300 kilomeetrit kuid pidevalt kasutatakse ainult Thamesi alamjooksu ja Mersey suudmeala. 1994. aastal valmis Suurbritannia ja Prantsusmaa vaheline 49,4 kilomeetrit pikk Eurotunnel. Suurbritannia õhutransport on rahvusvaheliselt tähtis. British Airways on maailma üks suurimaid lennukompaniisid. London on maailma üks tähtsamaid lennuliinide sõlmpunkte. Heathrow', Gatwicki, Stanstedi, Lutoni ja London City lennujaamad moodustavad lennujaamade
Barrels from an area in which the crude oil's molecular characteristics have been determined and the oil has been classified are used as pricing references throughout the world. Some of the common reference crudes are: West Texas Intermediate (WTI), a very high-quality, sweet, light oil delivered at Cushing, Oklahoma for North American oil Brent Blend, comprising 15 oils from fields in the Brent and Ninian systems in the East Shetland Basin of the North Sea. The oil is landed at Sullom Voe terminal in Shetland. Oil production from Europe, Africa and Middle Eastern oil flowing West tends to be priced off this oil, which forms a benchmark Dubai-Oman, used as benchmark for Middle East sour crude oil flowing to the Asia- Pacific region Tapis (from Malaysia, used as a reference for light Far East oil) Minas (from Indonesia, used as a reference for heavy Far East oil) The OPEC Reference Basket, a weighted average of oil blends from various OPEC
