History
The Akagi service first started on 10 March 1960 as a semi-express service operating between Ueno and Template:STN.[4] From 14 March 1985, the service was upgraded to limited express status.[4]
From 18 November 2013, one car (car 3 in 7- and 10-car formations, and cars 3 and 10 in 14-car formations) was designated as a reserved-seating car.[5]
From the start of the revised timetable on 15 March 2014, eleven Akagi services running during weekday peak commuting hours were renamed Script error: No such module "Nihongo". with all ordinary-class seats reservable.[2]
Since 13 March 2021, this limited express no longer runs on the Ryomo or Joetsu Lines. Northbound services terminate at Takasaki instead of continuing on to Shin-Maebashi or Maebashi.[6]
Effective 18 March 2023, all Swallow Akagi services were converted back to ordinary Akagi services with all departures requiring a reservation.[7]
