Express trains (which connected to local trains at Keihan-Yamashina Station where a siding was set), sub-express trains (which stopped at Keishin-Sanjo Station and each station of Misasagi Station onward) and direct trains to the Ishiyama-Sakamoto Line used to run in the past, but currently all trains are local trains that turn back at Hamaotsu Station.
かつては急行（京阪山科にはかつて待避線が設けられており、ここで普通列車と緩急接続を行っていた）や準急（停車駅は京津三条、御陵より各駅）の運転、石山坂本線との直通運転もあったが、現在はすべて浜大津駅折り返しで普通列車のみの運転である。
