| Until the timetable revision of Kansai International Airport on September 4, 1994, island platforms were operated at Tennoji and the schedule had most local trains utilizing passing loops to allow rapid trains to pass at Hirano and Kashiwara. |
しかし、1994年9月4日の関西国際空港開港時のダイヤ改正までは天王寺で緩急接続を行い、平野や柏原で後続の快速を待避するダイヤが主体であった。 |
