Although the stops along its route were reduced to Tennoji, Oji and Horyuji, which was less than regular rapid trains, it required a great deal of time to reach its destination because it stopped at Kashiwara to wait for Yamatoji Rapid Service trains to pass.
途中の停車駅は、天王寺・王寺・法隆寺で、定期の快速停車駅よりも削減されていたが、柏原で運転停車を行い後続の大和路快速を待避するなど、所要時間は大幅にかかっていた。
