Until the revision of March 2001 there was a train for Kawaramachi Station, and on the inbound track as well as on the outbound track it stopped at the same stations as Sakaisuji-Kaisokukyuko (rapid express), which was introduced with this revision.
2001年3月改正以前は河原町行きも運転されて、停車駅は上り・下りとも同改正で設定された堺筋快速急行と同じであった。
