I've done some digging and found this page:

https://www.virgintrains.co.uk/help-and-contact
click on "How do I collect my tickets from a Fast Ticket machine?".

It says:

You no longer need to go to the station selected when making a
booking.

For about ten years.

You can collect your ticket from any station with a Fast
Ticket machine.

So why did they ask me to select a station?

To avoid you guessing that your chosen station would have one, turning
up, and finding it doesn't.
