Hi all,
"In recent years, The Tube has undergone a $10 billion renovation, upgrading stations and large segments of its 400 kilometers of tracks."
Whether the highlighted word "if" is redundant or not? As I see it, "400 kilometers" is a adjective phrase modify "tracks", so is it right to write the sentence like this: ...upgrading stations and large segments of its 400 kilometers tracks.
Thanks your help.
