it comes from people who spend their time standing by trainlines watching
trains go past and writing down the train numbers or some other details.
from what i can gather, it's popularity seems confined to the british
isles.
it's become a byword for pointless,  obsessive behaviour.

Where did the term "trainspotting come from?
I know there was a film - which I didn't see.
What does it mean?
