English: In a timetable revision made in March of 1997 (mentioned below), Rapid Service was temporarily integrated as a regional rapid train, but in a revision made on March 15, 2008, the regional rapid running to and from JR Nanba once again became a rapid train due to many passengers mistakenly getting on the regional rapid train stopping at Imamiya that runs through the Osaka Loop Line, as well as to make a distinction between regional rapid trains running to and from JR Nanba through Imamiya.
Japanese: 1997年3月のダイヤ改正（後述）で一旦は区間快速に統合されていたが、今宮に停車する大阪環状線直通の区間快速への誤乗等が相次いだことや今宮を通過するJR難波発着の区間快速との区別を図る目的で、2008年3月15日のダイヤ改正でJR難波発着の区間快速を再び快速とした。
English: Rapid Service trains run during the daytime between JR Nanba and Takada on the Wakayama Line at ten-minute intervals in four-car sets of the 221 series.
Japanese: 昼間時はJR難波-和歌山線高田間を20分間隔で221系の4両編成で運転している。
English: (Due to the line arrangement at Oji, making a connection at the same platform is not possible, so the train has to wait for the local train it passed at Kashiwara).
Japanese: （王寺の配線上、同一ホームでの接続は不可能なので、柏原で追い越した普通を待つ形になる）。
English: Because people were accustomed to the old line connections, which had been in use until 1997, consideration was given to connecting the line to the Wakayama Line (running to Gojo, Hashimoto, Wakayama) and/or the Sakurai Line at Takada.
Japanese: また1997年までの名残から高田で和歌山線（五条・橋本・和歌山方面行き）や桜井線との接続が考慮されている。
English: Except during the daytime, Rapid Service trains basically run between JR Nanba, Nara and Kamo, but there are some trains set up to run through the Wakayama Line.
Japanese: 昼間時以外はJR難波-奈良・加茂間の運転が基本になるが、和歌山線へ直通運転する列車も設定されている。
English: A few of these trains are connected to trains running to Nara and Kamo (also known as a "multilayer" train) and then disconnected at Oji.
Japanese: そのうちの一部の列車は、奈良行または加茂行と併結（いわゆる多層建て列車）し、王寺で切り離しを行っている。
English: Direct trains are run from the Sakurai Line during morning rush hour, while in the past, there was also a direct train run in the evening that changed numbers and ran beyond Gojo Station on the Wakayama Line.
Japanese: なお、朝ラッシュ時には桜井線から直通列車が運転されており、過去には夕方の桜井線直通列車や列車番号を変えて和歌山線五条駅以遠にも直通する列車も存在していた。
English: The main cars in operation are the 221 series with four-car sets (Yamatoji Rapid Services have six-car sets, as mentioned above).
Japanese: 車両は221系4両編成の運転が中心（大和路快速は上記のとおり6両）である。
English: However, also put into operation during rush hour are Nara Train Depot's JNR 103 series with six or eight-car sets, JNR 201 series with six-car sets (greenish brown color) and Morinomiya Train Depot's 103 and 201 series with eight-car sets, giving a wider variation of cars than the regional rapid trains running on the Osaka Loop Line.
Japanese: しかし、ラッシュ時には奈良電車区所属の国鉄103系電車系6・8両編成、国鉄201系電車6両編成（ウグイス色）や森ノ宮電車区所属の103系・201系8両編成も運用に入り、大阪環状線直通の区間快速と比べると車両のバリエーションが多彩である。
English: Due to the rollsign being changed by a schedule revision made on March 15, 2008, the color of the characters for 'Rapid Service' was changed from orange to green, while a green line was added to the lower part of the rollsign for the green-colored Yamatoji Line.
Japanese: また、2008年3月15日のダイヤ改正により種別幕が交換されたため、「快速」の文字色が橙色から緑色に変更され、さらに幕の下部に大和路線のラインカラーである緑色のラインが追加されている。
English: By a schedule revision made on March 15, 2008, three Rapid Service trains were established to run on weekday mornings from Kashiwara, originally a way station, to JR Nanba.
Japanese: 2008年3月15日のダイヤ改正で、本来は通過駅の柏原を始発駅とする快速JR難波行きが平日朝に3本設定された。
English: This revision was made because the direct rapid trains, newly established in accompaniment with the opening of the Osaka Higashi Line, were operated via the same line as support for trains running in the Tennoji and JR Nanba areas.
Japanese: これは、おおさか東線開業に伴って新たに設定された直通快速が同線を経由して運転されるためで、天王寺・JR難波方面への補完の役割として運転されている。
English: All three of these rapid trains departing from Kashiwara as their first station for JR Nanba are set according the timetable to be connected with direct rapid trains on the same platform at Kyuhoji.
Japanese: この柏原始発の快速JR難波行きは、3本とも久宝寺で直通快速に同一ホームで連絡するようダイヤが組まれている。
English: At Tennoji Station, these trains are sometimes connected to rapid trains from the Hanwa Line on the Osaka Loop Line, but there are many cases where a connection is not considered.
Japanese: 天王寺駅では阪和線からの環状線快速列車に接続する列車もあるが、基本的には接続が考慮されていないケースが多い。
English: Kashiwara City strung up a banner at the station for the first Rapid Service train departing from Kashiwara that reads: 'Commemorating the departure of the first Rapid Service train from Kashiwara - Commencement of temporary service.'
Japanese: この柏原始発の快速について、柏原市が同駅に「祝柏原始発快速発車暫定運行開始」の横断幕を掲げている。
English: Even after the integration of Rapid Service trains into regional rapid trains by the timetable revision made in March of 1997, the greenish brown 'Rapid Service' sign remained on the Nara Train Depot's 103 series cars.
Japanese: 1997年3月のダイヤ改正による快速の区間快速統合後も、奈良電車区所属の103系（ウグイス色）には「快速」の幕は残された。
English: This was because the sign used by one of the 103 or 201 series of JR Nanba regional rapid trains traveling to Nara via Sakurai and Takada during the morning rush hour did not carry the description 'Regional Rapid Service JR Nanba via Sakurai and Takada.'
Japanese: これは平日の朝ラッシュに運転される奈良発桜井・高田経由の区間快速JR難波行のうちの1本で使われていた103系または201系の方向幕に「区間快速桜井・高田経由JR難波」の幕が入っていないためであった。
English: Regional Rapid Service trains are a class of train that operate during rush hour and stop at every station on the Osaka Loop Line.
Japanese: 区間快速（英字表記RegionalRapidService）は、ラッシュ時に運行される種別で、大阪環状線内は各駅に停車する。
English: These trains stop at every station on the loop line because the sections between Osaka, Kyobashi and Tennoji are heavily congested.
Japanese: 環状線内では各駅に停車する関係で、大阪-京橋-天王寺間の混雑が激しい。
English: Consequently, all of the trains are operated with eight-car sets, and although the 221 series is also used, Nara Train Depot's JNR 103 series (greenish brown cars connected together as two four-car sets), the 103 series (orange) and the 201 series of Morinomiya Train Depot are also operated.
Japanese: そのため、全列車8両編成の運転で221系も使われるが、奈良電車区所属の国鉄103系電車（ウグイス色。4両編成を2本連結）や森ノ宮電車区所属の103系（オレンジ色）・201系も運用に入る。
English: On the destination sign, 'Regional Rapid Service: Osaka Loop Line' is displayed on trains running around the Osaka Loop Line with a last stop at Tennoji, and 'Regional Rapid Service: Osaka, Kyobashi' is displayed on trains with a final stop at Kyobashi.
Japanese: 行き先幕は、大阪環状線を周回して天王寺が終点となる列車は「区間快速大阪環状線」、京橋止めの列車は「区間快速　大阪・京橋」と表示される。
English: Local trains stop at every station and are mainly operated between JR Nanba, Kashiwara, Oji and Nara.
Japanese: 普通列車（英字表記Local）は各駅に停車する列車で、主にJR難波-柏原・王寺・奈良間で運転されている。
English: After a timetable revision made on September 30, 1995, the local train running to Kashiwara was extended to Oji and only trains in the daytime ran to Nara and Oji; from March 8, 1997 to March 18, 2006, another timetable revision had the daytime trains running to Oji and Nara operating at twenty minute intervals.
Japanese: 1995年9月30日の改正から柏原行の王寺延長で昼間は奈良行と王寺行のみになり、1997年3月8日から2006年3月18日のダイヤ改正までは昼間は王寺行と奈良行が20分サイクルで運転されていた。
English: This meant that at each station between Kashiwara and Oji, the number of running trains was decreased by half, changing back to twenty minute intervals instead of ten minute intervals.
Japanese: そのため柏原-王寺間の各駅では、10分ヘッドから再び20分ヘッドになり本数が半減された。
English: Local trains heading to Nara sometimes function as trains that trail behind rapid trains running to Takada by waiting in a passing loop at Kashiwara Station and gathering up passengers travelling from Oji Station to the Nara area.
Japanese: 奈良行普通は、柏原駅で待避した快速高田行の後続列車として王寺駅から奈良方面への乗客を集客する働きもある。
English: Although local trains mainly run between JR Nanba, Kashiwara and Oji during rush hour, there are some local trains that depart and arrive at Takada Station on the Wakayama Line.
Japanese: ラッシュ時間帯はJR難波-柏原・王寺間での運転が中心になるが、和歌山線の高田駅発着の列車も存在する。
English: There are early morning local trains that run between JR Nanba and Kamo, direct trains that run only one way from JR Nanba on the Nara Line, as well as regionally operated trains that run early in the morning and late at night between Oji and Nara.
Japanese: 早朝にはJR難波-加茂間、JR難波から片道のみ奈良線への直通列車のほか、早朝深夜に王寺-奈良間の区間運転もある。
English: Around rush hour, regional trains run between Nara and Kamo in order to compliment the rapid train system.
Japanese: ラッシュ時間の前後には快速系統の運用上の都合で奈良-加茂間の区間列車もある。
English: The standard cars in operation on local trains are the 103 and 201 series with six-car sets, but in the early morning and late at night, sometimes the 103 series are operated as a four-car set and the 221 series as a six or four-car set.
Japanese: 車両は基本的に103系か201系の6両編成での運転だが、早朝・深夜には103系の4両編成、あるいは221系の6両、4両編成で運転されることがある。
English: In the past, the 103 series were operated with three-car sets, and on rare occasions the 221 series has been operated during the daytime as a local train with a six-car set.
Japanese: 過去には103系の3両編成で運転されていたり、昼間時間帯にもまれに221系6両編成での普通列車が運転されていた時期があった。
English: As of March of 2009, island platforms for transfer between local trains and rapid trains were put into operation at Kyuhoji, Oji and Tennoji (only for a few trains), and passing loops were put into operation for rapid trains at Hirano Station (JR West Japan) and Kashiwara.
Japanese: 2009年3月現在、久宝寺・王寺と天王寺（一部列車のみ）で快速列車との緩急接続を行っており、平野駅(JR西日本)や柏原でも快速列車の待避が行われている。
English: 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.
Japanese: 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。
English: However, accompanied by the opening of Kansai International Airport, an increased number of trains on the Osaka Loop Line running directly through the Hanwa Line (with the introduction of Kanku Rapid Service and the Haruka (train)) made it impossible for trains to pass each other using the island platform at Tennoji.
Japanese: しかし、関西国際空港開港に伴う大阪環状線-阪和線直通列車の増発（関空快速、はるか(列車)の登場）によって天王寺では緩急接続が頻繁にできなくなった。
English: To remedy this situation, an increased number of local trains were allowed to use the passing loop at Hirano to allow rapid trains to pass, but in the Oji area, a limit was imposed on the number of trains that could use a passing loop in consideration of keeping a balance with freight trains on the Joto Goods Line of the Osaka Higashi Line.
Japanese: そのため平野で快速列車を待避する列車を増やすなどの努力がなされたものの、王寺方面行に関してはおおさか東線城東貨物線の貨物列車との兼ね合いもあり平野で待避する列車は数に制限があった。
English: Consequently, from the evening on, even if local trains departed from JR Nanba immediately after a rapid train, the following rapid train would catch up to the local train and be forced to run slowly until the Kashiwara area.
Japanese: このため、普通列車がJR難波を快速発車後すぐに出発しても、後発の快速列車が久宝寺付近で先行の普通列車に追いついてしまい、柏原付近まで快速列車は徐行運転を余儀なくされることが夕方以降を中心にしばしば発生した。
English: Furthermore, until March 15, 2008, the short section of track to the Hanwa Line was a single track, and because direct trains between the Osaka Loop Line and the Hanwa Line use a level junction, they were sometimes forced to run slowly even around Tennoji Station.
Japanese: さらに2008年3月15日までは阪和線への短絡線が単線であり、大阪環状線-阪和線間の直通列車が平面交差することから、天王寺駅近辺でも徐行が強いられることもあった。
English: When it was put into practice to have rapid trains stop at Kyuhoji in 1997 (at the time it was only a stop for regional rapid trains), the opportunity was taken advantage of in 1998 by newly establishing passing loops at Kyuhoji, and a main pattern was formed around making revisions to the timetable by putting in island platforms.
Japanese: 1997年に久宝寺での快速停車（当時は区間快速のみ）が実施されたのを機に、1998年に久宝寺に新たに待避線が設けられ緩急接続を行うパターンを主体としたダイヤに改められた。
English: From that point on, aside from the aforementioned local trains heading to Nara that waited at passing loops for regional rapid trains running to Takada, the number of trains waiting at these turnouts decreased at Kashiwara.
Japanese: それからは前述の普通奈良行が当時の区間快速高田行を待避する場合を除いて柏原で待避する列車は減少した。
English: However, after a timetable revision made in March of 2006 (due to the derailment accident on the JR Fukuchiyama Line), trains using these turnouts at Kashiwara once again increased.
Japanese: しかし、2006年3月のダイヤ改正（JR福知山線脱線事故に伴うダイヤの見直し）からは再び柏原での待避が増加した。
English: Especially for local trains running towards the Oji and Nara areas, after island platforms and rapid trains to follow the local trains were implemented at Kyuhoji, the timetable became more flexible due to local trains waiting three stations ahead for only one rapid train.
Japanese: 特に王寺・奈良方面行においては久宝寺で後続の快速列車と緩急接続した後、わずか3駅先の駅でもう1本後続の快速列車を待つためダイヤに余裕が生まれる。
English: On the other hand, there were wait times of up to nine minutes at Kashiwara, making it rather inconvenient for passengers using local trains that stop at this station.
Japanese: その反面、柏原では最長9分の待ち時間が発生し、柏原をまたいで普通列車を利用する客にとってはかなり不便になってしまった。
English: With the opening of the Osaka Higashi Line in March of 2008, once island platforms were implemented at Kyuhoji to make transfers between local trains running to the Oji area and rapid trains, stop times generally became a few minutes longer at Kyuhoji and a few minutes shorter at Kashiwara due to many timetables being set to have local trains wait for the new train running on the Osaka Higashi Line.
Japanese: 2008年3月のおおさか東線の開業により、王寺方面行きの普通列車は久宝寺で快速列車と緩急接続した後、続いて入線するおおさか東線の列車を待つダイヤが多く組まれるようになったため、おおむね久宝寺での停車時間が若干長くなり、柏原での停車時間が若干短くなった。
English: Due to a timetable revision made on March 14, 2009, local trains running to the Oji area no longer have to wait at Hirano for other trains to pass.
Japanese: 2009年3月14日のダイヤ改正では、王寺方面行の普通列車は平野での待避はなくなっている。
English: This is because part of Umeda Station's JR freight train operations was moved to Kudara Station, which is near Hirano, due to the development of the north area of Osaka Station.
Japanese: これは大阪駅北地区開発にともない梅田駅JR貨物の機能が、平野に近接する百済駅に一部移されるためである。
English: Yamanobenomichi Leisure is run via Nara and the Sakurai Line until Takada on Saturdays and holidays during the spring and autumn tourism season.
Japanese: 春・秋行楽時の土曜・休日に「山の辺の道レジャー号」が奈良・桜井線経由で高田まで運転されている。
English: Depending on the time of year and the season, departures from the Osaka side vary when departing from Osaka, JR Nanba or both.
Japanese: 大阪側の発駅は年度やシーズンによって、大阪発・JR難波発・両駅発と異なる。
English: The Yamanobenomichi is now run as a Yamatoji Rapid Service and rapid train on the Osaka Loop Line and Yamatoji Line and as a special train on the Sakurai Line.
Japanese: 現在では、大阪環状線・大和路線内は大和路快速・快速で運転し、桜井線内は臨時列車として運転している。
English: It stops at the same stations as a Yamatoji Rapid Service and rapid train until Nara, and while the stops on the Sakurai Line had varied depending on the year, a timetable revision was made in 2008 to have it stop at every station on the Sakurai Line.
Japanese: 停車駅は、奈良まで大和路快速・快速の停車駅と同じで、桜井線内は年度により異なっているが、2008年のダイヤ改正では桜井線内全駅に停車している。
English: By a timetable revision made in March of 2006, the Yamanobenomichi Leisure was set to only depart from JR Nanba, but after another revision made in March of 2007, a few runs departing from Osaka were also established.
Japanese: 2006年3月のダイヤ改正よりJR難波発のみとなったが、2007年3月のダイヤ改正からは、数本ではあるが大阪発の列車も設定されている。
English: Previously, a Yamatoji Rapid Service train was scheduled to run between Osaka and Nara, and then make a round trip between Nara and Takada as a special local train.
Japanese: 以前は、大阪-奈良間は定期の大和路快速、奈良-高田間は臨時普通列車として1往復の運転をしていた。
English: Between Kizu and Nara, all Nara Line trains and some Katamachi Line trains run through to the Yamatoji Line; between Kyoto and Nara, the Nara Line operates a through service for its Miyakoji rapid trains, its rapid trains, and its regional rapid trains and the Katamachi Line operates quarter rapid and regional rapid trains; and between Shin-Imamiya and Tennoji (which runs parallel to the Osaka Loop Line), Nanki-bound special express trains, Kanku rapid trains, Kishuji rapid trains, and rapid trains from the Hanwa Line and Osaka Loop Line run directly through to the Yamatoji Line.
Japanese: 上記のほか、木津-奈良間では奈良線の全列車と片町線の一部の列車が乗り入れており、奈良線直通で京都-奈良間に奈良線みやこ路快速・快速列車・区間快速が、片町線方面には快速・区間快速が、また大阪環状線と並行する新今宮-天王寺間には阪和線・大阪環状線から南紀方面特別急行列車や関空快速、紀州路快速、快速などが直通運転されている。
English: Within the Urban Network area, except for a few line sections, trains are operated all night from New Year's Eve to New Year's Day, but because of temples and shrines such as Kasuga Taisha Shrine and Chogosonshi-ji Temple being along the line, local trains have recently been run roughly every thirty minutes between Nara and JR Nanba.
Japanese: アーバンネットワークエリアでは一部の線区・区間を除いて大晦日から元日にかけての終夜運転が実施されているが、沿線に春日大社や朝護孫子寺などの社寺があり、ここ最近では奈良-JR難波間で普通列車を概ね30分間隔で運転している。
English: Before the opening of Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in March 2001, all night operations from December 31, 2000 to January 1, 2001 had local trains running every thirty minutes in the form of 'Nara - Oji - Tennoji - Nishikujo - Osaka - Kyobashi - Tennoji' (operated similar to a Yamatoji rapid train).
Japanese: なお、2001年3月のユニバーサル・スタジオ・ジャパン（USJ）の開業前、つまり2000年12月31日から2001年1月1日にかけての終夜運転までは、普通列車を「奈良-王寺-天王寺-西九条-大阪-京橋-天王寺」（いわば大和路快速のような運行形態）の形で概ね30分間隔で運転されていた。
English: In the past, there were cases of trains running all-night operations on the Hanwa Line to JR Nanba.
Japanese: また過去には阪和線の終夜運転の列車がJR難波駅まで乗り入れしていた時期もあった。
English: Before the tracks were electrified on September 20, 1973, there were trains which stopped only at Hirano Station (JR West Japan) and Yao Station between Tennoji Station and Kashiwara in addition to trains that stopped at every station between JR Nanba and Kashiwara (Osaka Prefecture).
Japanese: 1973年9月20日の電化以前には、JR難波駅-柏原駅(大阪府)間運転の各駅停車のほかに天王寺駅-柏原間は平野駅(JR西日本)・八尾駅のみに停車していた。
English: There were 'local trains' which stopped at every station between Minatomachi, Oji Station and Nara Station and there was the timetable where the stops were different in local trains and the train which stopped at every station.
Japanese: 他は各駅に停車する「普通列車」が湊町-王寺駅・奈良駅間で運転されており、普通列車と各駅停車の間で停車駅が異なるダイヤが組まれていたことがあった。
English: During the 'Nara Silk Road Exposition' in 1988, special rapid trains were operated between Shin-Osaka, Nishikujo, Tennoji, Oji and Nara (Kamo).
Japanese: 1988年の「ならシルクロード博覧会」の会期中には新大阪-西九条-天王寺-王寺-奈良（加茂）間に臨時快速列車が運転された。
English: A special 165 series' rapid train was also established to make one round trip between Gobo Station and Nara (via the Hanwa Goods Line on the Kansai Main Line).
Japanese: また、御坊駅-奈良間（関西本線阪和貨物線経由）にも165系を使用した臨時快速列車が1往復設定されていた。
English: Special direct trains between Shin-Osaka and Nara were operated as 'Nara Rekishi Tanho' (literally, 'touring historical sites in Nara') trains during the 'Nara Historic Campaign' (mentioned below).
Japanese: 新大阪-奈良間直通の臨時列車は後述の「なら歴史キャンペーン」時にも「なら歴史探訪号」として運転された。
English: Until a timetable revision made on March 8, 1997, rapid trains ran nonstop between Tennoji and Oji similarly to Yamatoji Rapid Services, and regional rapid trains running to and from JR Nanba were mainly operated during rush hour.
Japanese: 1997年3月8日のダイヤ改正までは大和路快速と同様に天王寺-王寺間はノンストップであり、JR難波発着の区間快速もラッシュ時が主体であった。
English: During the daytime, aside from regional rapid trains, rapid trains ran through Yamato-Koizumi Station and Koriyama Station (Nara Prefecture) (their destination sign was orange, when in those days, the lettering of these signs was written in red), and daytime trains that ran directly between JR Nanba and Takada and came to stop at every station on the Wakayama Line were also operated as 'rapid trains' rather than 'regional rapid trains.'
Japanese: また昼間にはこの区間快速とは別に大和小泉駅・郡山駅_(奈良県)通過の快速（種別の色がオレンジ。当時は旧幕の字体であって赤色で表示）や、昼間のJR難波-高田間直通で和歌山線内各駅停車となる列車も「区間快速」ではなく「快速」として走っていた。
English: Before the appearance of the aforementioned rapid trains that ran through the two stations, this category of train was operated as a 'rapid train.'
Japanese: また、前述の2駅を通過するタイプの快速が登場する以前は、この種別の列車が「快速」として運転されていた。
English: Although they were put in this category because they had a different pattern of stops on the Osaka Loop Line than regional rapid trains, by a timetable revision made on March 15, 2008, trains with this stopping pattern came to be called 'rapid trains' once again (Kyuhoji was added as a stop for rapid trains in the past).
Japanese: 大阪環状線直通の区間快速と停車パターンが違うのはこのことの名残であったが、2008年3月15日のダイヤ改正で同種の停車パターン（過去の快速に久宝寺を停車駅に加えたもの）の列車は再び「快速」を名乗ることとなった。
English: Rapid trains that operated on diesel before the tracks became electrified were first established to stop only at Koriyama Station between Oji and Nara, and they passed through Horyuji Station and Yamato-Koizumi.
Japanese: なお、電化前の気動車運転による快速は、設定当初王寺-奈良間の停車駅は郡山駅のみで、法隆寺駅・大和小泉を通過していた。
English: The stop at Horyuji was later added, and the Yamato-Koizumi stop was also added in 1973 at the same time the tracks became electric.
Japanese: 後に法隆寺が停車駅に加わり、1973年の電化と同時に大和小泉も停車駅に加えられた。
English: On every Sunday except the third Sunday of the month from October 13 to November 24, 2002, the Yamatoji Hollywood was a special train that was operated one way between Nara and Sakurajima Station on the Sakurajima Line.

English: During the Nara Historic Campaign held by JR West Japan from September 13 to December 20, 2003, the Nara Rekishi Tanho was a special rapid train operated between Shin-Osaka and Nara on Saturdays.
Japanese: JR西日本主催のなら歴史キャンペーンで2003年9月13日から12月20日までの土曜日に新大阪-奈良間に運転された臨時列車快速列車。
English: Although the stops along its route were reduced to Tennoji, Oji and Horyuji, which was less than regular rapid trains, it required a great deal of time to reach its destination because it stopped at Kashiwara to wait for Yamatoji Rapid Service trains to pass.
Japanese: 途中の停車駅は、天王寺・王寺・法隆寺で、定期の快速停車駅よりも削減されていたが、柏原で運転停車を行い後続の大和路快速を待避するなど、所要時間は大幅にかかっていた。
English: The cars used for this train were six-car sets of Miyahara Integrated Operation Center's JNR's 300 subseries of the 117 series.
Japanese: 車両は、宮原総合運転所の国鉄117系電車300番台6両編成が使用されていた。
English: The 'Kasuga' refers to the express train that ran between Nagoya Station and Nara until March 17, 2006.
Japanese: 「かすが(列車)」は、2006年3月17日まで名古屋駅-奈良間に運転されていた急行列車である。
English: This train ran through Kamo to Nara on the Yamatoji Line, but from 1958 to September 30, 1973, it ran between Nagoya, Nara and Minatomachi (currently JR Nanba) (the predecessor to this train appeared in 1949, running until 1966 as a local express).
Japanese: 加茂（通過）-奈良間で大和路線を通っていたが、1958年から1973年9月30日までは名古屋-奈良-湊町（現・JR難波）間で運転されていた（前身となる列車は1949年に登場、1966年まで準急列車）。
English: JR Central's Kiha 75 Diesel Car series were used from 1999 to the time the train was discontinued, but during the time the Kasuga ran to Minatomachi, JNR's Kiha 55 and Kiha 58 Diesel Car series were used.
Japanese: 車両は1999年から廃止時までJR東海キハ75形気動車気動車が使用されていたが、湊町まで運転されていた当時は国鉄キハ55系気動車や国鉄キハ58系気動車気動車が使用されていた。
English: Due to the discontinuation of the 'Kasuga,' out of forty-six prefectures that have JR railway lines, Nara became the only prefecture where not a single JR class train is run.
Japanese: この「かすが」が廃止されたことにより、奈良県はJRの鉄道路線がある46都道府県でJRの優等列車が1本も走らない唯一の都道府県となった。
English: Delays occurring on the Osaka Loop Line and Hanwa Line sometimes have an effect on trains running on the Yamatoji Line.
Japanese: 大阪環状線や阪和線で発生した遅延は、大和路線の列車にも及ぶ場合がある。
English: Due to a 221 series in operation that enters the Yamatoji Line from the Hanwa line, if disruptions occur in the Hanwa Line timetable, rapid trains leaving JR Nanba for Kamo and Gojo are sometimes delayed as well.
Japanese: また、阪和線から大和路線に乗り入れる221系の運用もあるため、阪和線にダイヤ乱れが発生するとJR難波発　快速加茂・五条行の列車にも遅延が発生する場合がある。
English: A quadruple track section separates the Yamatoji Line and Osaka Loop Line between Tennoji and Shin-Imamiya, and from Shin-Imamiya, trains arriving and departing from JR Nanba also run on a track separated from the Osaka Loop Line.
Japanese: 天王寺-新今宮間は大阪環状線と別線（複々線）で、新今宮からも大阪環状線とは別線を進むJR難波発着の列車がある。
English: The effect of delays of direct trains from other lines on the Osaka Loop line are somewhat alleviated by station schedule changes and transfers of trains over to JR Nanba due to suspension of service and rescheduling of Yamatoji Rapid Service trains.
Japanese: また、大和路快速を運休および運転整理による発着駅変更してJR難波発着に切り替えることにより、若干ではあるが大阪環状線内での他路線からの直通列車の遅延の影響を緩和している。
English: Although these cars are chiefly used in the Rapid Service system, they are also used as local trains early in the morning and at night.
Japanese: 主として快速系に運用されるが、早朝や夜間などには普通列車にも使われる。
