"Updates are offered along multiple, parallel "trains" that the user can
select from the Update UI. Older stable trains will offer minimal number
of updates, more current trains will offer new features and a faster rate of
change, and completely experimental trains with new, untested features under
development will be offered to interested pre-release testers."

however the train marked stable gets lots of updates every few days while the train marked current in the ui rarely sees an update? am I wrong or are they laballed the wrong way round?

The description in http://doc.freenas.org/9.3/freenas_system.html#update may be clearer:

The following trains are available:
  • FreeNAS-10-Nightlies: this train should not be used in production. It represents the experimental branch for the future 10 version and is meant only for bleeding edge testers and developers.
  • FreeNAS-9.3-Nightlies: this train has the latest, but still being tested, fixes and features. Unless you are testing a new feature, you do not want to run this train in production.
  • FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE: this is the recommended train for production use. Once new fixes and features have been tested, they are added to this train. It is recommended to follow this train and to apply any of its pending updates.
