Mystery man is YouTube hit after No 30 Lothian bus sing-along

PASSENGERS tend to sit in silence without even exchanging a glance as they make their way home – unless you catch the number 30, that is.

One man was clearly so fed up with the lack of fun on the top deck of the Lothian Bus service that he bravely set out to cheer up his fellow travellers.

And the result has become something of a YouTube hit.

The mystery middle-aged man led a sing-song on the bus – which runs from Wester Hailes to Musselburgh – with passengers of all ages united in a wild rendition of the folk song My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean, all the while clapping their hands and stamping their feet.

When the reveller who led the singing stood up to get off the bus, passengers clambered to shake his hand and kiss him goodbye as he left to the sound of cheers.

The remaining travellers went on to raise the roof by singing to their hero the 70s Steam classic Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye.
