Yufuin no Mori (‚ä‚Ó‚¢‚ñ‚ÌX The Forest of Yufuin), Yufu DX ((‚ä‚ÓDX)) and Yufu ((‚ä‚Ó)) are limited express train services operated by Kyushu Railway Company (JR Kyushu) which run from Hakata via Yufuin to Ōita and Beppu. source-Wikipedia Based on this, it is a Limited Express and it's operated by JR Kyushu and it's NOT a liner, so since it's not listed as one not available, then it's available. But you have to check the availability. http://www.jrkyushu.co.jp/english/time_table/time_table.html

Dear John B digs Japan Thank so much for your advice. It is my first time seeing Yufuin no Mori appearing on www.hyperdia.com dated 30 Aug. I have tried using this website and all the trains were LTD EXP SONIC or LTD EXP YUFU

The Yufuin no Mori (and other trains of the same sort) run only a couple times per day (when they run at all), so you have to specify the correct departure time if you want to see them on Hyperdia. ;)
Also, the Marine Liner despite its name is not a liner but a limited express, so it is covered.

Hyperdia chooses the quickest or least connections as the options given. I had to plug in Yufuin as the "via" in order to get reseults showing that train.

Firas, I unticked everthing but the Limited Express box since the description by Wikipedia shows that it goes from Fukuoka to Beppu, but I still wasn't finding it until I plugged Yufuin as a waypoint! :-)
