Does Filton Abbey Wood have a working ticket machine?

Apart from the part-time ticket office with very limited hours at this station, is there a working TVM in place? I can see one on the National Rail station maps, but it is not functional at the time of audit.

Yes, but it does suffer from being in a terrible location. When it's sunny the screen becomes very hard to read. The ticket office is just a man in a hut with an Avantix machine btw, so no ticket collection facilities if you are looking for TOD.

You may also find it set to 'Cards Only' as well.

All FGW TVMs have just had new screens fitted that (apparently) arent effected by the sunlight, but i've yet to put one to the test! and yes, all the TVMs in the Bristol area are "card only" at the moment due to them being ramraided on frequent occasions!

Yes. That picture was taken ages ago. There is also an afternoon only ticket office which opens from just before 1pm to some time in the evening which I'm not sure of. Don't count on it always being open though, as if the guy isn't in, or needed elsewhere then it won't be open.
