Travelers on the Ueda to Annaka route can choose from the Limited Express and local trains. The Limited Express, operated by the Shinano service, reaches speeds of up to 110 km/h (68 mph) and completes the journey in about 30 minutes, with fewer stops along the way. In contrast, local trains take a bit longer, making multiple stops and traveling time can extend to approximately 45 minutes.
The Shinano Limited Express offers comfortable seating arrangements and is suited for those looking for a faster option. Local trains, while slower, provide a glimpse of the scenic landscapes and regional culture. Passengers can expect basic amenities on both services, ensuring a pleasant ride throughout the journey.
