Until March 1997 the train would stop at Takatsukishi Station in addition to the limited express stops (Umeda, Juso, Takatsukishi, Omiya, Karasuma and Kawaramachi), and it was operated during the morning and evening rush hours on weekdays.
1997年3月までは、当時の特急の停車駅に高槻市を加えた駅（梅田、十三、高槻市、大宮、烏丸、河原町）に停車し、平日の朝夕ラッシュ時に運転されていた。
