History
::figure[src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0f/Ome-liner-e257_at_ome_station.jpg" caption="E257 series as the Ōme Liner at Ōme station"] ::
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 (はちおうじ) and the Ōme (おうめ) respectively. The Ōme operates fewer 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.
However, as the Green Car service will be commenced on the commuter trains of Chūō and Ōme lines, another timetable revision which took effect from 15 March 2025 was announced. In this revision, the Ōme and Hachiōji limited express services were discontinued after 6 years of operation.
