Sure, the OS isn't Windows 11, so it runs quickly - that's obvious.

It also depends on the person operating it, brother.

The OS only contains the Railway firmware, nothing else.

It's a web app, so it doesn't depend on the OS. It probably runs the UI locally and just validates everything on the central server.

Unreserved tickets don't need to talk to the backend for seat allocation, which is the biggest time‑consumer in booking. Plus the payment uses the Railway smart card, an in‑house system, so no third‑party validation is needed.

You'd be surprised how fast a service can be when it's directly connected to the server with zero latency. A sleek, simple UI also makes it feel snappier.
