There isn't another train in the whole movie!
What's ironic about the title anyways?

OK A trainspotter is someone who can easily identify a song being played from a live set.....they can make up a tracklist

John DIgweed sets n such........trainspotters help ID the tunes and then we have a cool playlist....so we know what the hell we are listening to when we dl a set :PP


trainspotter aka someone who knows his shit very well

Peace..im out
Psi

Hey Thanks for the help guys i had suspected that it was the name for people who knew their shit.

Now I can rest in peace. lol

errr...from i've heard trainspotting is "looking for the next big hit" in regards to a herion/drug hit i think

...dunno if this is the same in regards to music scene, but it makes a lot of sense with the movie
