Trainspotting, or to be a trainspotter, is to be obsessed with the arrivals and departures of trains. Trainspotters are people who wait at train stations and depots in an attempt to catalogue, by number, all of the trains in the British rail system. This is naturally impossible; one train will always be missed because a trainspotter can not be in all places at all times.
To quote Irvine Welsh: "Trainspotting is a futile occupation, as is drug taking." So maybe what Welsh is trying to tell us in the title is that modern life is like trying to trainspot. The trains are the opportunities, the personalities, the experiences and understandings many of us have missed. Life is, for those with too many choices, a catalogue of missed opportunities. What we might learn in "Trainspotting" is that choosing life is a decision we must make, and we may never be right. All the trains can never come our way, but we have to decide to board one some time.
