Currently, only the shuttle service is available, but a direct special express called the 'Hankyu Kyoto Main Line Special Train' was operated between Umeda Station and Arashiyama Station during the spring and autumn sightseeing seasons until autumn 2000 (with the timetable revision of March 2001, the trains was discontinued).
現在は線内折返し運転のみだが、2000年秋まで（廃止は2001年3月のダイヤ改正）は春・秋の行楽シーズンに梅田駅～嵐山間に直通の臨時列車急行列車「阪急京都本線臨時列車」が運転されていた。
