Normally, the inbound train waited for a limited express train to pass at Takatsukishi Station, but this type was operated on a time schedule in which it did not make a refuge stop and instead reached Kawaramachi Station first, without being overtaken by any faster trains.
通常上り急行は高槻市で特急を待避するが、この列車は待避せずにそのまま逃げ切り河原町まで先着するダイヤであった。
