Because the route has many curves, the average time required between Demachiyanagi Station and Yodoyabashi Station is 53 minutes, which is a big difference from the time of the Special Rapid running on the JR Kyoto Line, which connects Osaka and Kyoto in 28 minutes.
出町柳～淀屋橋間の標準所要時間は53分で、カーブの多い路線が影響して、大阪～京都間を28分で結ぶJR京都線の新快速に大きく水を空けられている。
