A Norwich park and ride advert appeared on a digital billboard in Glasgow, more than 400 miles away.

An advert promoting Norwich's park and ride bus scheme has appeared on a digital billboard on St Vincent Street in Glasgow, more than 400 miles away. The campaign was intended to encourage passengers to use one of Norwich's five park and ride sites. The advert features the slogan: 'Out with the ghouls? It's just £5 for five travelling on Norwich Park and Ride.'

The misplaced advert drew attention on social media, with users joking about its baffling location. One said: 'I wonder how many family tickets on the Norwich Park & Ride have been sold thanks to this strategically placed ad.'

A spokeswoman for Norfolk County Council said: 'We understand this was posted in error by the supplier and is being sorted. These screens are utilised at no cost to the council.' Glasgow City Council has been contacted for comment.
