Owing to the introduction of the rapid train, the number of semi-express trains operated between Takatsukishi Station and Kawaramachi Station (in this section they would stop at every station) had to be reduced, and therefore the local trains between Umeda and Takatsukishi extended their operations up to Takatsukishi Station and to the east.
快速が設定された分だけ高槻市～河原町間の準急（各駅停車）が減るため、梅田～高槻市間の普通が高槻市以東にも延長運転される。
