==Services==

===Limited express===
As of 23 September 2022, the ''[[Kamome|Relay Kamome]]'' limited express operates on the Nagasaki Main Line until [[Kōhoku Station (Saga)|Kōhoku]] before splitting off to [[Takeo-Onsen Station|Takeo-Onsen]] where passengers can board the [[Nishi Kyushu Shinkansen]] to Nagasaki. The merged ''[[Midori (train)|Midori]]''/''[[Huis Ten Bosch (train)|Huis Ten Bosch]]'' limited express operates east of [[Kōhoku Station (Saga)|Kōhoku Station]] with some services operating additionally as a Relay Kamome until Takeo-Onsen. Prior to the opening of the new Shinkansen line, limited express trains travelled over the new route between [[Isahaya Station|Isahaya]] and [[Urakami Station|Urakami]] stations. Limited Express Relay Kamome trains are operated by JR Kyushu using the 6-car 885 series and 8-car [[787 series (JR Kyushu)|787 series]]. <ref>{{Cite web|title=TrainReview|url=https://trainreview.com/train/ltd-exp-kamome|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200916001510/https://trainreview.com/train/ltd-exp-kamome|url-status=usurped|archive-date=September 16, 2020|access-date=2020-08-05|website=trainreview.com}}</ref> A new limited express service ''Kasasagi'' was introduced between Hizen-Kashima and Hakata with through services to Mojiko to make up for the loss of the Kamome along the line using the 6-car 885 series, 8-car 787 series, and 8-car 783 series EMU's. <ref>{{Cite web |title=新特急「かささぎ」「リレーかもめ」9月23日デビュー 西九州新幹線開業に合わせ誕生（乗りものニュース） |url=https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/e97388362c46e347b9458128edeb7579fa584253 |access-date=2022-09-23 |website=Yahoo!ニュース |language=ja}}</ref>

Overnight [[sleeping car|sleeper trains]], such as the ''[[Sakura (train)|Sakura]]'' (between Tokyo and Nagasaki) and ''[[Akatsuki (train)|Akatsuki]]'' (between Kyoto and Nagasaki), were discontinued in 2008.

===Regional trains===
Other than trains that are operated on the entire Nagasaki Line, there are trains which operate in specific sections, such as from Tosu to [[Hizen-Kashima Station|Hizen-Kashima]], and trains which continue on to other lines. From of 23 September, all electric trains are slated to be replaced by DMUs and hybrid diesel-electric trains between Hizen-Hama and Nagasaki.
*In the morning, from [[Hizen-Nanaura Station]], there is a direct train to [[Mojikō Station]] (on the [[Kagoshima Main Line]]).
*The new line from Isahaya to Nagasaki uses [[Electric multiple unit|EMU]]s, but the old line, including direct trains to the [[Omura Line]], uses [[Diesel multiple unit|DMU]]s. However, the rapid service train ''[[Seaside Liner]]'', despite being a DMU, uses the new line.
*Between Hizen-Nanaura Station and [[Yue Station]], because it is a relatively inactive part of the line, local trains only run for about five hours into the daytime after the morning rush.
*''Wanman'' [[Driver-only operation]] trains are operated on the entire Nagasaki Line. On the new line, the [[817 series]] EMU is used, and on the old line, the KiHa 66, 67, and 200 DMUs are used.

===Freight===
[[Freight train]]s are operated between Tosu and [[Nabeshima Station|Nabeshima]]. High-speed freight trains make three round trips a day from Tosu Freight Terminal to Nabeshima. The [[electric locomotive]] used is the [[Class ED76]]. Freight trains only arrive and depart from Nabeshima station.
