More context would help.

It could be a mistake for a gravy train - a way of making money quickly, easily, and often dishonestly

Or a pun on that, saying your fashionable and exciting life is off beam.

Can you give us the context for the sentence?

Sorry Anglika
That was all I was given .. I was quite confused by this as there are no other details at all. But thanks for trying anyway.
