Subject: RE: Folklore: Journeymen
Not sure which sense Ian Anderson meant:

Journeyman night-tripping on the late fantasic
Too late to stop for tea at Gerard's Cross
and hear the soft shoes on the footbridge shuffle
as the wheels turn biting on the midnight frost.
    -- Jethro Tull: "Journeyman", from Heavy Horses

.... but it fits well with the idea of the loneliness of the long-distance commuter.
