According the time schedule, these trains are to be replaced by trains with long-seat cars at Yodoyabashi Station or Demachiyanagi Station when they double back (a similar replacement is practiced between the Series 9000 and the Series 6000, as well as among the trains of the Keihan Electric Railway Series 7200).
これらは淀屋橋または出町柳駅での折り返し時にロングシート車で運転される特急と入れ替える運用で組まれている（同様の運用替えは9000系と6000系または京阪7200系電車との相互間においても行われている）。
