History

JR East announced a new timetable revision which took effect from 16 March 2019 onward. It announced the discontinuation of the ''Chūō Liner'' and the '' Ōme Liner'', which was replaced by two new limited express services, the ''Hachiōji Limited Express'' (はちおうじ) and the ''Ōme Limited Express'' (おうめ) respectively. The ''Ōme Ltd. Express'' operates less services than the former ''Ōme Liner'', with one Tokyo-bound train during the morning rush, and two Ōme-bound trains during the evening rush. With this, a new ticketing system is now implemented, in which limited express tickets can be purchased in advance, unlike the Liner tickets which can only be bought on the day of boarding.
