Thornton Heath station ticket machine? And in the other case Victoria station?
I thought the point was to provide them where the railway/Tube doesn't.


The railway doesn't provide them. AFAIK ticket machines won't sell you a
new Oyster card, but Ticket Stops are supposed to. And anyway, if having
a station nearby was good enough, then surely ticket stops would have
never existed near any tube station.
