EasyJet’s New Slimline Seats Will Offer 2 Inches More Legroom
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article in The Times.
This is the sub-heading.
The Kestrel seat’s thinner design promises improved knee and shin clearance. Could the ‘fixed recline’ feature also lead to fewer spats over space?
These three paragraphs add more detail to the story.
As budget airlines try to squeeze more and more passengers onto flights, it can feel as though the seat in front gets slightly closer every time you step on a plane.
But a “next generation” economy seat is coming, which its makers say will give travellers extra legroom with no loss of space for airlines.
The Kestrel seat from Mirus Aircraft Seating, a British manufacturer, will be installed from 2028 on hundreds of easyJet’s new aircraft, providing an extra two inches of “improved knee and shin clearance” for passengers.
Hopefully easyJet’s passengers will be sitting more comfortably.
Funds Committed To Explore More Rail Expansion
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
Money has been allocated to develop plans to extend a popular rail route reinstated 15 months ago
These three paragraphs add more details.
Last week, the North East Combined Authority (NECA) committed an initial £2.5m to a dedicated Rail Development Fund, which included plans to expand the Northumberland Line.
Northumberland County Council leader Glen Sanderson said he hoped planning applications for the line’s extension to Newbiggin-on-Sea could be submitted by 2028 and suggested a station could be added to serve Wansbeck General Hospital.
The funding would be used to “accelerate rail‑related scheme development across the region” including a plan to reopen Ferryhill Station in County Durham as part of the Leamside Line.
This would appear to be most of what campaigners want.
