In spring 2001, the operation of local trains from Arashiyama Station to Katsura Station was extended to Nagaoka-tenjin Station so that the passengers could transfer to the limited express train for Umeda Station on the same platform; however, since then this operation has not been performed in any sightseeing season.
また2001年春には嵐山発桂行きの普通列車が長岡天神まで延長運転し、長岡天神で梅田行きの特急に同じホームで乗り換えできる列車があったが、その後のシーズンには運転されていない。
