**“Mr Safe vs Banbury”** *(Intro – Spoken)* For once… the loop actually worked. No missing buses. No total collapse. Just controlled Midlands chaos. Which somehow feels weirder. --- *(Verse 1)* 664 through Southam rain, A423 soaked again, ALDI passing through the mist, Starting loops like this exists. Not going Leamington this time round, Southam Town Centre touching down, Quick connection, straight away— 63 beginning the day. --- *(Verse 2)* Stockton roads and Dunchurch glide, Woodlands rolling by outside, Traffic on the A426— Threatened to completely ruin it. But somehow the connection lived, Monster energy finally equipped. After surviving loops caffeine-free— This felt historically significant to me. --- *(Chorus)* Round Warwickshire, Northamptonshire too, Every route somehow pulling through, One delay nearly changed the day— But the loop still found its way. From Southam roads to Northampton lights, DIRFT zones and rainy skies, Controlled chaos on the line— A Midlands loop that worked this time. --- *(Verse 3)* 96A toward Northampton side, Longest bus in ages ride, Houlton, Crick and West Haddon lanes, Long Buckby rolling through the rain. DIRFT 1 and DIRFT 3, Industrial estates endlessly, Althorp fields then Duston roads— Northampton finally overloads. 9:12 until 10:36— That’s not a bus ride, that’s a whole expedition honestly 😭 --- *(Verse 4)* D3 was supposed to appear… But transport fate interfered. AE12 CKK broke down, Couldn’t even leave the town. So the driver stole another bus— Absolute Midlands emergency stuff. D2 saved the entire chain— One malfunction rewrote the game. --- *(Bridge – Greggs Recovery)* Greggs Daventry tactical stop, Free item carried from the app. Tandoori chicken sandwich secured, Vimto bottle once more endured, Prawn cocktail crisps completing the set— Peak recovery meal no regret. --- *(Verse 5)* D1 back through Braunston side, Barby lanes and countryside, Kilsby, DIRFT, Hillmorton glide— Rugby getting closer now. Then the dangerous thought appeared again… *(Echoes)* “Why am I so scared to go to Banbury?” “…Banbury…” “…Banbury…” Because one missed connection there… and you enter another dimension 😭 --- *(Verse 6)* 4 to Bilton quick detour, More buses added to the score, Could’ve looped the route again— But timings said “absolutely not my friend.” So Rugby North Street it became, Keeping the schedule in the game. --- *(Verse 7)* 63 replacement bus arrived, Because the original somehow died. Stagecoach Midlands using logic? Honestly that feels demonic 😭 Southam roads and Ufton bends, Radford Semele nearing the end, Upper Parade then back once more— Same exact bus like before. --- *(Final Chorus)* Round Warwickshire, Northamptonshire too, Every route somehow pulling through, No catastrophic breakdown fate— Just organised Midlands delay. From DIRFT roads to Southam lights, Monster energy saving lives, One rare day the timings aligned— A bus loop that mostly went right. --- *(Outro – Spoken)* The roadworks ended. The buses connected. The replacement bus actually appeared. And somehow… the biggest fear of the whole loop… was still Banbury.
