Service 360 is a subsidised bus route operating in the West Midlands, England.

It links Walsall with Aldridge via Shelfield.

It is subsidised by the West Midlands Passenger Transport Executive, Centro.

[edit] History

Previously the route was operated by Chase Bus Services and moved to Arriva Midlands following its takeover of the company.

Shortly before the tender of the route was changed to A2Z Travel, for their first subsidised service, an Arriva Midlands 360 service leaving Walsall was involved in an horrific incident in the bus station, which resulted in the death of one innocent pedestrian. An elderly lady from Bentley was crossing the zebra crossing in the bus station, when the bus turned at speed the wrong way around the bus stations one way system, crashing into pedestrians and other vehicles. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the event is still ongoing.
