Mrs. Weillingham pulls a lever 144 times a day, and swims the large level-crossing gates at least 48 times a day from six in the morning until 10.30 at night. Even on her weekly day off - her 'rest day' - Mrs Willingham has to be on duty from 3a.m. till 10.15 who her relief - a man - arrives. Another man takes over in the afternoon because men are allowed to work only eight-hour shift. Each week she is allowed four hours off for shopping. An Eastern Region spokesman said that a keeper knowe what the conditions were when she took the job. Mrs Willingham he said, was able to do things about the house between trains and so was considered to be only working part-time.
