The timetable revision was carried out, anticipating the inauguration of the Oto Line, and therefore the operation of the trains that terminated at Demachiyanagi Station were positioned as a test operation until the morning of October 5, when the line was inaugurated.
この時のダイヤ改正は鴨東線開業に向けたダイヤ改正であり、出町柳までの列車に関しては同線開業日の10月5日の午前中まで三条～出町柳間が試運転扱いだった。
