**“PTSD Town No More”** *(Intro – Spoken)* Wednesday loop. Objective: Return to Banbury… and survive it this time. No missed 76. No stranded Stratford ending. Just vibes… and psychological recovery. --- *(Verse 1)* 664 through morning rain, Warwickshire waking up again, Long Itchington passing slow, Offchurch hedges in the glow. Cubbington bends then Leamington side, Tavistock Street stepping outside, This wasn’t just another ride— This was PTSD recovery time. --- *(Verse 2)* 77A to Banbury land, Scenic roads through the countryside span, Lighthorne Heath and Gaydon glide, Temple Herdewyke rolling by. Northend hills and Fenny views, Warmington skies in cloudy hues, Every mile felt strangely calm— Like Banbury was disarming the alarm. --- *(Chorus)* PTSD town no more, Crossed the county like before, No collapse and no despair— Just Midlands buses everywhere. From Southam roads to Banbury skies, Trying to leave old fears behind, One successful loop can change— How the whole network feels again. --- *(Verse 3)* B9 looping Hardwick side, Stayed onboard just for the ride, Neithrop rolling back once more, Banbury circles to kill dead air. Midlands Gold still scanned through clean— Even on Oxfordshire machines 😭 Thought it wouldn’t work at all— But somehow fate ignored the law. --- *(Bridge)* Walked through Castle Quay alone, Checking signal on my phone, Data started acting strange— PTSD entered the frame 😭 But not today. Not this time. --- *(Verse 4)* 75 to Stratford line, Single decker countryside, Tadmarton roads and Brailes hills, Views so good the bus stood still. Shipston fields and village lanes, Window covered softly in rain, Honestly top ten scenic rides— Midlands beauty countryside. Couldn’t even track the bus online, Thought the loop was about to die, Backup plans already made— Then the 75 arrived on time 😭 --- *(Chorus)* PTSD town no more, Made the connection like before, No hour stranded in the rain— Banbury didn’t break the chain. From scenic hills to Stratford lights, Every route somehow aligned, One successful ride can heal— The fear old loops used to reveal. --- *(Verse 5)* X18 through Warwick roads, Only eight minutes in Stratford mode, But after previous trauma there— Eight minutes felt completely fair 😭 Warwick castle passing by, Leamington fading into night, Then Coventry once again— The network never truly ends. --- *(Verse 6)* 86 through Rugby side, Binley Woods and Wolston glide, Could’ve got the X17— But random decisions intervene. Late arrival killed the 63, Classic Rugby timing honestly. So more buses had to spawn— The loop mechanics carried on. --- *(Verse 7)* 4 to Bilton extra ride, Loop inside a loop this time, Lidl stop then back once more— Transport logic fully ignored 😭 Then came the true survival test… Never get school buses if you can help it. --- *(Bridge 2)* The 4 to Brownsover arrived… FULL. Bilton School had activated. --- *(Verse 8)* Packed so tight the windows steamed, Most crowded bus I’ve ever seen, Opposite ASDA finally free— Then the 63 rescued me. Woodlands roads and Stockton night, Southam getting back in sight, No major failure, no despair— Banbury PTSD repaired. --- *(Final Chorus)* PTSD town no more, Made it through the route once feared before, No missed buses changed the day— The loop survived all the way. From Banbury roads to Stratford skies, Every successful ride rewrites, The memories old delays once made— Another Midlands loop complete. --- *(Outro – Spoken)* Banbury wasn’t the enemy after all. It was… the 76.
