Great North Run crowds took part in mass sing-a-long led by Metro staff in South Shields

Hundreds of Metro passengers burst into song while waiting for trains to take them home from the Great North Run.

The spontaneous sing-a-long was led by a Nexus staff member in South Shields who went the extra mile to keep crowds of runners and spectators entertained on the network's busiest Sunday of the year.

In a video shared by Nexus chief operating officer, Martin Kearney, Metro passengers can be seen singing 'She'll Be Coming 'Round the Mountain' as they wait outside South Shields Interchange after the run. Despite the queues to get home, the crowd remained in high spirits as they enthusiastically joined the cheerful Nexus staff member in the fun sing-a-long to pass the time.
