Attached is a spreadsheet (derived from RSP data) showing what TOD facilities are available at each station.
If you find any errors please note them in this thread.

One error I have found - Bedworth does not have a Ticket Office.

That's a useful list and included the new Northern machines I know of. I don't understand the intention/meaning of "Available during station opening hours" for small, rural, stations, where the machine is out in the open and not secured in any way, and the station doesn't seem to have any posted hours.

Slightly out of date WRT the management of Wolverhampton station (now under the remit of West Midlands Trains/Railway), but otherwise a very valuable tool.

Grimsby Town and Cleethorpes ToD are outside the station buildings, Grimsby Town's in the Car Park, and Cleethorpes's is on the concourse, but it is a right of way and not locked. They'd be accessible 24/7.

Wallsend or somewhere on the ECML
You've missed the LNER machines at Aberdeen and Stevenage off. Dunbar is operated fully by ScotRail. The First Class Lounge at Leeds only has a Tribute for emergencies so best to remove that from the list.

This is an excellent list. I’m sure with some more contribution from people it can become really accurate and a great resource.

Some things to note from my local area.
Worksop now has 3 tvm.
2 of the tvm are on the Lincoln platforms. (p2) at the bottom of the footbridge.
The other is on platform 1 near the door to the ticket office and station exit (where the old one used to be).

Whitwell has a TVM in the shelter on the Worksop platform. It hardly ever works but it exists.

Torre has a TVM available 24/7.
Newcourt is missing, TVM availavle 24/7.

What is your criteria for booking office v TVM - some stations such as Newport are listed for both, but Newton Abbot/Totnes/Teignmouth/Dawlish/Plymouth/Exeter Central & St David's are only listed as TVM?

This list looks very much like it is from RCS (Retail Control Service) data which is from RSP; in other words, I don't think that Owlman has created this themselves (and that's implied in the original post). It's available to retailers to use on websites / apps.

Assuming that this is from RCS, then no that's not correct. If anything is wrong then the relevant TOC should correct it. The data structure is not designed to distinguish between the TVMs of different TOCs at stations though.

The list is based on the list from RCS/RSP with non-station locations removed. There are errors in the data and I am trying to produce a corrected list.

An admirable idea. Perhaps it could be sold back to RDG?

I will add one: Redcar East now has a TVM on the Saltburn platform, as well as the Middlesbrough platform; I didn't try it out on Saturday though.

Not all booking offices (or a small number of TVMs) allow TOD so stating a station has a booking office doesn't mean that it has TOD capabilities.

Every SWR (not SWT) station near me that I’ve looked at has outside TVMs, yet the list only ever shows ‘available during office opening hours’. Is that supposed to be explaining TVM availability or not?

Slaithwaite did have a Northern TVM in the Platform 1 shelter, but:
1. It was removed
2. Then replaced with a new one.
3. Then shelter and TVM both removed
4. New Shelter provided.
5. Cabling for TVM disappeared

It's going to be a bit of a moving target at Northern for a while yet, with more new TVMs going in all over the place every week.

Mytholmroyd states available during Ticket Office hours only. Unless it's new, there's no ticket office there.
