Although the train runs nearly nonstop between Kyobashi Station and Neyagawashi Station (the train goes nonstop in the early morning and in the late evening, and the rest of the day it stops only at Moriguchishi Station), at the Neyagawa Station and to the north, the train makes a stop at almost half the stations, and that is why until the timetable was revised in September 2003 there was a big difference between limited express and express in terms of the time required.
また、京橋から寝屋川市の間はほとんどの駅を通過する（早朝と深夜はノンストップ、それ以外の時間帯は守口市のみ停車）反面、寝屋川市以北では約半数の駅に停車しており、そのために2003年9月のダイヤ改正までは特急と急行の所要時間の差が大きいダイヤが組まれていた。
