However, before raising the line voltage to 1500V (upon compliance in 1969) and the settlement of ATS (Automatic Train Stop system) on the Keihan Main Line (with compliance from 1967 sequentially), the mutual operation was ceased in 1968 because the crossing at grade in the station yard would hinder an increase in the number of trains.
近鉄京都線の架線電圧1500V昇圧（1969年実施）・京阪本線ATS設置（1967年より順次実施）を控え、駅構内の平面交差が列車増発の差し支えになることから、1968年に相互直通運転を廃止。
