Barclays pin blocked

I have unblocked my pin online at Barclays. I have now heard my pin on the phone from their system. When I look online, it says To unlock your PIN, visit a UK Barclays cash machine and enter your PIN correctly.
As Barclays is a long car journey for me, anyone know if it is possible to do this at any old ATM machine??

I have reset PIN for cards in generic ATMs but you'd have to confirm with Barclays directly
Sam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

Any LINK ATM should do the trick in my experience. Easy enough to try, and then make the trip to a Barclays one if it doesn't work. Doesn't necessarily have to be a Barclays branch either, as they have ATMs in many places not a part of branches.
You can filter by ATM on their branch locator: https://www.barclays.co.uk/branch-finder/

Over the years I've been told by several banks that you can only change the PIN or other stuff at their own machines. In every case I tried at the very convenient "non-bank" ATM at Tesco and it worked fine.
So just try it.0
