Locations of Permit To Travel Machines?

I swung past Longcross as I was in the area yesterday... the machine is gone

Out of interest did you see if anything had replaced it? Is there a new TVM installed there now?

I went around there yesterday and I could not find any TVM, just a new slab of concrete where the original PERTIS was.

That is a shame. Serves me right for repeatedly putting off my return visit!

As MrColours points out, yeah nothing there, the info sign does now say there are no ticketing facilities at this station, although the "tickets" sign is still above where the PERTIS machine was

The PERTIS machine at Foxton was last reported here on 26 May 2025. I was at Foxton today; the machine has been removed since last May, and there's only a patch of new tarmac to show where it stood (leaned?) for so long.

I don’t believe there are.
Greater Anglia may still have a couple still in situ along with one at didcot but I believe they are all redundant. If someone else knows differently please do say.

The Almex-style machine at Cressing was still in place as of this morning but not working, of course.

Has anyone been through Beaulieu Road or Holton Heath or Millbrook or Redbridge recently and seen whether the PERTIS machines remain? I know it was mentioned that Longcross is gone so i presume that these others have been removed too?

No, afraid not but it would be interesting to know if they are still standing

Hi there. None of the machines at Beaulieu Road, Redbridge and Millbrook still remains as of today.

That could mean that all 5 SWR ones have now gone?

 

[Chriso]

Does this mean Cressing and Didcot are the only two remaining in situ

Holton Heath has gone. I was there last Friday.
