(idiomatic, uncountable) Information or knowledge that is worthy of contemplation.
If I were ScotRail management, I'd be looking at the feasibility of taking some more trailer cars to make them five-car sets, and even the possibility of using them on the West Highland, Kyle and Far North lines as well (although I fear that is a cost too far, but food for thought).
