Don't worry; I'm not that bothered - it was just that one really simply because it has stuck in my mind for so many years ( 28!) since the problems at the time...
...and this morning 30th the entire Southern network of ticket machines has gone down - but at least the ticket offices have tickets! Queues are out of the doors, though:

Back to the original title of this thread. Epsom and Ashtead were unable to issue tickets this morning, due to a shortage of ticket stock.

Commuters have been advised to leave more time to travel this morning due to a "network-wide" fault with ticket machines.
If you don't have enough money on your Oyster Card or need to buy a ticket, you might find all ticket machines are out of order at your station this morning.
Southern Rail UK reported: "There is a network wide issue with ticket vending machines, please allow more time to purchase ticket from office, on board or destination."
Queues have been reported outside Epsom and Ashtead Stations.
