English: Moreover, some have expressed disagreement with this idea because it could drive Osaka Monorail Co., Ltd., into a corner, which still needs to have its huge construction cost reimbursed.
Japanese: しかも莫大な建設費の償還が必要な大阪モノレールを窮地に追い込むことからこの構想に異を唱える意見もある。
English: Because the Hankyu Railway provides Rapid Express (express) trains that connect to Osaka Monorail at Hotarugaike Station for the sake of improved access, the time required to reach the city center has been reduced, and thus it can be said that "JR Fukuchiyama Line Branch Track Plan" has been replaced by this route.
Japanese: 現在は阪急が蛍池駅に快速急行（急行）を停車させ大阪モノレールとの連携を強化し、都心への所要時間を短縮したことにより本構想は代替されたともいえる。
English: Tamba City has asked West Japan Railway Company to double-track the section between Sasayamaguchi and Fukuchiyama, which is currently single-tracked.
Japanese: 丹波市は、篠山口～福知山間の単線区間を複線化をJR西日本に要望している。
English: Tamba City has been helping users who are party travelers with their group rates, and Hyogo Prefecture has implemented a pilot program in which fares for limited express trains were subsidized.
Japanese: また丹波市は団体利用への運賃補助を行い、兵庫県も特急列車の料金補助を行う社会実験を実施している。
English: However, the ridership on this section between Tamba-Oyama Station and Tamba-Takeda Station per day in the fiscal 2003, even as the figures for all eight stations on the section were added up, accounted for about 3,600 people, most of whom were high-school students; and furthermore, the ridership above Sasayamaguchi Station has shown a downward trend.
Japanese: だが、2003年度の1日の乗車人員はこの区間の丹波大山駅から丹波竹田駅までの8駅を合わせても約3,600人であり、その多くが高校生であり、また篠山口駅以北では減少傾向にある。
English: Moreover, while the average distance between stations on the section between Amagasaki Station and Sasayamaguchi Station is approximately 2.9 km (the average distance between stations for rapid trains is about 4.1 km), the figure indicates approximately 5.3 km on the section between Sasayamaguchi Station and Fukuchiyama Station, where quite a few people live along the Fukuchiyama Line but are still far from a station.
Japanese: また、尼崎駅～篠山口駅間の駅間距離が平均約2.9km（快速停車駅のみでも平均約4.1km）であるのに対し、篠山口駅～福知山駅間の駅間距離は平均約5.3kmであり、福知山線沿線に自宅を構えていても自宅から駅まで距離がある世帯が多い。
English: Additionally, the rapid trains (including those of Tambaji Rapid Service) stop every station on the 72.8-km section above Sanda Station, which accounts for approximately 68% of the total operation kilometers of the Fukuchiyama Line, thereby resulting in poor convenience and promptness as well as the high fare of taking a limited express train.
Japanese: その上、快速列車（丹波路快速を含む）は三田駅以北の72.8km（福知山線全営業キロの約68%）が各駅停車で利便性・速達性に乏しく、特別急行列車を利用するにしても特急料金が発生して交通費が高額になってしまう。
English: People have often examined the idea of moving the section to a route whereby the train crosses Kanegasaka pass along National Route 176 without stopping at Tanikawa Station because of the following three reasons: operation through Tanikawa Station in this section means an indirect path to run the train between Sasayamaguchi Station and Kaibara Station, the train can't pick up speed due to many sharp curves along Kawashiro Gorge, and this section has difficulties from the perspective of disaster prevention such as in the case of a landslide; accordingly, it seems very difficult to build a new route, given the manner in which this section has been used.
Japanese: なお、篠山口駅から柏原駅までの間は谷川駅を経由するため遠回りをしており、さらに途中の川代渓谷は急曲線続きで速度が上がらず、たびたび崖崩れが発生し防災上も問題があることから、過去に何度か谷川駅を通らない鐘ヶ坂176号線沿いに鐘ヶ坂を越えるルートへの移設が検討されてきたが、現在の利用状況では新線の建設は困難と考えられる。
English: The reason that a banner calling for 'double-tracking without changing the route' can be seen at Tanikawa Station is probably because the section between Tamba-Oyama Station or Shimotaki Station and Tanikawa Station will be dead track if the railway is moved to a route through old Nishiki-cho.
Japanese: 旧西紀町経由では丹波大山駅または下滝駅から谷川駅までが廃線になると見られることから、谷川駅に「現行ルートでの複線化」を求める横断幕があるのはこういった背景がある。
English: The actual distance between Tsukaguchi Station and Amagasaki Station was about 1.9 km, but this distance was set up in accordance with that for the Tokaido Main Line.
Japanese: なお、塚口～尼崎間の実キロは約1.9kmだが、本線の同区間にあわせていた。

Japanese: このほか、仙崎支線あるいは仙崎線と呼ばれる長門市駅～仙崎駅間の支線を持つ。
English: The above section is nicknamed the Sagano Line, and the staff of Kyoto Station sometimes guide passengers by using the combined name of "Sagano-Sanin Line."
Japanese: 京都～園部間には嵯峨野線という愛称があり、京都駅などでは両者を併せて嵯峨野山陰線と案内することもある。
English: At each station of the Sagano Line, J-Through/ICOCA, Suica of East Japan Railway Company (JR East), TOICA of Central Japan Railway Company (JR Central) and PiTaPa of KANSAI THRU PASS can be used.

English: In 2002, when the Tohoku Shinkansen was extended to Hachinohe Station, the section between Morioka and Hachinohe of the Tohoku Main Line, then the longest line, was separated from the line and converted to the lines of Iwate Galaxy Railway Co., Ltd., and Aomori Railway Company Co., Ltd.; as a result, the Sanin Main Line became the longest railway line in Japan in terms of operation kilometers.
Japanese: 2002年にこれまで最長だったJR東日本東北本線のうち、盛岡～八戸間が東北新幹線八戸駅開業に伴い、IGRいわて銀河鉄道・青い森鉄道に転換されて分断されたため、山陰本線が営業キロ交通に関する日本一の一覧鉄道の路線となった。

Japanese: また、ラインカラーを事実上設定していない米子支社も、運賃表路線図では管内の本線格として青色で記載している（他の路線は灰色）。
English: Although it's the longest line in terms of operation kilometers, it's one of main lines on which a superior train that runs from the starting station through the terminal station has never been set on a schedule (other examples are the Chuo Main Line and the Chikuho Main Line).
Japanese: 営業キロこそ日本最長の路線ではあるが、起点から終点までを通して走る優等列車の設定が史上一度もない本線の一つ（他に中央本線、筑豊本線）となっている。
English: The above seems to have resulted from the uneven distribution of passengers, depending on sections as well as the policy, which has been adopted by former Japan National Railway and West Japan Railway Company since the Sanyo Shinkansen came into operation; and of strengthening the lines directly connecting cities along the Sanin Main Line and those along the Sanyo Shinkansen (In-Yo connecting line).
Japanese: 区間によって乗客の流動に大きな偏りがあることや、旧日本国有鉄道や西日本旅客鉄道が、山陽新幹線開業以降、山陰本線沿いの各都市から直接山陽新幹線に至る路線（陰陽連絡線）を強化してきた結果と思われる。
English: Although electrified lines such as the Fukuchiyama Line and Hakubi Line or new, high-speed lines like the Chizu Express Chizu Line connect the Sanin region with coastal regions of the Inland Sea, the idea of connecting cities laterally within the Sanin region has rarely been considered until recently; likewise, the electrification of the line has been done in a patchy manner.
Japanese: 山陰と瀬戸内側を結ぶ線には福知山線、伯備線等の電化された路線や智頭急行智頭線のような高速新線があるが、山陰の横同士の連絡は最近まであまり考慮されず、電化もそれらの延長的存在でつぎはぎ状態で行われた。
English: The above is also applicable to construction work for speed improvement carried out in later years, and as a result high-speed and low-speed sections are intermixed.
Japanese: 後年の高速化工事も同様で、高速化された区間とそうでない区間がつぎはぎ状態になっている。
English: Since privatization, however, improvement has been made to a certain extent, such as the efforts to strengthen local transportation in the Tottori - Kurayoshi - Yonago - Matsue- Izumoshi section, which had been dominated by bus transportation.

Japanese: 長大路線でありながらこのように近代化が遅れたことや、風光明媚な車窓風景とあいまって、鉄道ファンの間では「偉大なるローカル線」と呼ばれている。
English: Because there are many well-known traditional hot springs along this line, people often have the impression that trains on this line run through these hot springs and along the sea coast at their own pace.
Japanese: 沿線には古くから知られた温泉が数多く湧出しており、その間の海岸沿いをマイペースで走る印象を持たれている。
English: Although a lot of long-distance trains that run nearly the entire line were seen during the era of the Japan National Railway, currently operations are done on the basis of sections divided in pieces, as shown below.

Japanese: 現在、2010年春の完成を目指して京都～園部間の完全複線化工事中である。
English: The travel times of local trains, however, haven't been reduced very much, due to the stoppage time required for passing each other or waiting for the passing of other trains, as well as the speed limit necessitated by the existence of many curves in the section.
Japanese: しかし、普通列車は行き違いや追い抜きのための停車時間が長くなり、また、区間内ではカーブが多く、速度制限があるため、所要時間はあまり短縮されていない。
English: In the Ayabe - Fukuchiyama section, the 'Limited Express Relay' runs for the purpose of connecting to the Maizuru Line, the Obama Line and the Fukuchiyama Line.
Japanese: なお、綾部駅～福知山駅間は舞鶴線・小浜線方面と福知山線の連絡のため、「特急リレー号」も運行されている。

Japanese: 福知山線の延長的存在として京都～園部間よりも早く電化されて、大阪・京都方面からの特急が輻輳している。
English: However, the construction work for speed improvement has not been carried out in this section and even limited express trains run at reduced speeds in the Fukuchiyama - Kami-Yakuno section due to the consecutive sharp curves.
