However despite PTTs being a legal requirement in the Penalty Fare
Zone(s) the Permits to Travel ticket issuing machines are frequently
switched off, or have been removed altogether.

But PTTs are obviously not a legal requirement any more, or TOCs would not
have removed them...

This was discussed a few years ago when SWT removed them all over their
network when rolling out their new TVMs, [1]] and it was not possible to
find a requirement for them to be provided, even in the PF regulations.

[1] There are a handful of PTT machines present at SWT stations where there
is no TVM at all.
