I have, in the past, taken the train from Donabate to Connolly when the office has been closed. Upon arrival the seller has tried to sell me a ticket from the yellow book and I've told him that I'm after a weekly and not a single and he has directed me to the tvm.
Permit to travel is more like a permit to chance your arm! One of the most common journeys I take in the UK is from Tulse Hill on a Sunday evening and the ticket office is always closed. I am well within my rights to pay 5p and then only pay if asked for a ticket on board. I always have a tfl zone card from earlier in the day but you can see that permit to travel is a win / win situation.
