After being in post for over a decade as the General Manager of the West Somerset Railway Association Jacquie Green is retiring from the role. Many members of the WSRA and the wider West Somerset Railway community will be sorry to learn of the news, which has been caused by ill health.

WSRA Chairman Edward Martin paid tribute to Jacquie saying “Jacquie took up the General Manager job in the wake of a period of turbulence for the Association steadied the ship and made sure that members interests and needs were maintained and met. From that essential foundation the Association was able to maintain its support for the West Somerset Railway through the Covid era and in other recent periods of need.”

Edward continued. “We will miss the continuity of information and advice that Jacquie provided in what is a volunteer led organisation. Following on from her time as Head of Catering for the West Somerset Railway she has made a significant contribution to the history of the line between Bishops Lydeard and Minehead. We wish her well for the future and offer many thanks for her time and work with us.”.
