The Wanganui service ceased in 1959; the Auckland service was truncated to terminate in <a href="/wiki/Taumarunui" title="Taumarunui">Taumarunui</a> from 1971; and the Wellington service was cancelled on 30 July 1977. On 11 February 1978, the Taumarunui railcar was replaced by a passenger train, but it was ultimately cancelled on 21 January 1983. Since this date, the only passenger trains to operate to New Plymouth have been infrequent excursions operated by railway preservation societies.<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTEChurchmanHurst2001132–3,_140–1_33-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEChurchmanHurst2001132–3,_140–1-33"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>33<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The breakwater at Ngamotu was completed in 1883, providing safe berthage for vessels, and the Moturoa wharf was completed in 1888. <a href="/wiki/Port_Taranaki" title="Port Taranaki">Port Taranaki</a> is a critical transport link for the region and the only deep water port on the west coast of New Zealand. </p><p>In 1916, the city's electric <a href="/wiki/Trams_in_New_Zealand" title="Trams in New Zealand">tramway</a> system began, and petrol-powered buses began running four years later.
