The travel times of local trains, however, haven't been reduced very much, due to the stoppage time required for passing each other or waiting for the passing of other trains, as well as the speed limit necessitated by the existence of many curves in the section.
しかし、普通列車は行き違いや追い抜きのための停車時間が長くなり、また、区間内ではカーブが多く、速度制限があるため、所要時間はあまり短縮されていない。
