Thank you, Mike. I think some of these instances are a "no" because the cold winters made the decision not-to- sprinkler a whole lot easier. And if these outside, outdoor platforms did sprinkler where freezing was an issue, I am pretty sure there would be some other issues with ITM. So, yes, thank you very much for pointing out the warm climate airports where freezing doesn't enter into the survey.
Denver's train is below grade level if I recall and its construction was within the last 15 years (I think). Be interesting to know if they sprinkler-protected their electric train platforms. As I recall, a large portion of these Denver platforms is under a very tall atrium. I can't recall if Sydney's metro rail had sprinklered platforms or not. Las Vegas, both the county and city are very pro-sprinkler, I wonder if their tram lobbies are protected with sprinklers. I am betting "yes".
