(Summary)
・Airport Limited Express "Rapi:t" will be added to make it the same frequency as the one before Covid-19.
・More Airport Express trains will be operated as 8 car trains, instead of 6 cars.
・Train reduction on Tanagawa Line.
(Summary ends)

Along with increasing demand of Kansai International Airport, trains from the airport increase dramatically.
On the other hand, Tanagawa Line reduces its service.
The line used to play a role as a main route to connect Osaka and Sumoto. By boarding ship from Fuke-ko Station on the line, passengers can go to Sumoto. But, after opening of Akashi Strait Bridge, highway bus became the main route. (Even now, you can go to Sumoto from Osaka by Nankai Main Line Train, Tanagawa Line Train ,and ship)
