Depends on why your note was not accepted. If it was because the note was faulty, then yes, a PF should be due. But if you had a "workable" note then that would be arguably a TVM fault.

You are not legally entitled to change, by the way.
The machine wouldn't take the value of note that I had on me - by design.

Then I guess you did not have an accepted method of payment for travel from that station. £50 note I guess? Haven't seen one for years.
I forget which denomination - certainly £20 max. And, yes, the operator did take the view that it wasn't an accepted method of payment, citing issues with the ability to provide change.

I took great pleasure not that much later in using my work Amex card for purchases, knowing that it would cost them the most to process.

There should surely be the option to pay this at any Northern ticket office if paying cash? They could take the money, stamp the receipt and record it as paid.
You're confusing Northern with a company who are bothered about basic standards of customer service..
