Carbon neutral
Both locomotives are based at [[Bridgnorth]] where the WLA has workshops and stores adjacent to Hollybush Road sidings, to the north of the station. The WLA contributed funds to, and also uses the facilities of, the [[Diesel Depot]]. The WLA maintains good relations with Rolls Royce (formerly MTU and Maybach) and Voith in Germany, original manufacturers of the engine and transmission types respectively.
It became the first diesel-owning group in the country to go ‘carbon neutral’, working with a specialist rewilding charity to planting trees in the Scottish Highlands to offset the carbon produced by operating its locomotives.<ref name=blsep21>[https://www.svrlive.com/blsep21 Branch Lines, September 2021]</ref>
