Subsequently, with the revision of the timetable of the Keihan Line on July 1, 2000, all limited express trains began stopping at Chushojima Station throughout the day, making the trip to the Osaka area more convenient by comparison to the trip on an express train, which people used to take until then, although they would have to transfer, and because of this change there is no plan to relaunch the 'Uji Kaisoku' operation in the future.
その後、2000年7月1日の京阪線ダイヤ改正で中書島駅が特急終日停車駅となり、乗り換えが必要とは言え、従来の急行電車利用と比べて大阪方面への利便性が向上した事もあって、今後「宇治快速」の運行再開の予定はない。
