Can you list the top facts and stats about Home Liner?
Summarize this article for a 10 year old
Home Liner (ホームライナー) is the generic name given to limited-stop commuter train services operated by railway companies in Japan, which require the purchase of a supplementary jōsha seiriken (乗車整理券) or Liner Ticket (ライナー券) in addition to the base fare ticket. The supplementary ticket guarantees passengers a seat on board.[1] This article describes all commuter services in Japan fitting this definition, regardless of whether their names actually include the title "Home Liner".
These services generally use express or limited-express train rolling stock, and the early morning inbound and late evening outbound movements often form an effective way to move rolling stock being to or from depots in preparation for the next day's operations.
