Super impressed with the speedy work from Glasgow passport office!!

Just wanted to ask what colour passports have been received from Glasgow recently? Burgundy or Blue?
Was really worried about long wait times but I filled out my application online on 16th June and sent my old passport by special delivery so it was received on 17th although the passport office didn’t inform me it was received until yesterday. They rejected my initial picture due to shadows behind me so I uploaded a new one yesterday and they’ve already got back to me early this morning to say the new photo is approved and the passport has been sent for printing.
Judging by the timescales with the other posts, hopefully this should be printed and sent out later on today or Monday as I assume they don’t work weekends.
Really impressed with how fast it seems to be moving forwards all things considered. I’ve seen stories online of people waiting 10 or 11 weeks but I guess this was due to lockdown and things are slowly getting back to a bit of normality now.
I got my passport at the beginning of June. I submitted my online application on 23rd May and had the passport in my hands on 5th June. I received a burgundy passport so pretty much the exact same as my old one it just doesn’t have European Union at the top of the front cover anymore!!
Do you mind me asking when you applied for the child renewal? I applied on 16 May,its been processing since 1 June. I’m getting very anxious as we are meant to go on holiday in July!
When did you send your passport stuff away?
I done mine 29th May 2020 for my son’s renewal.
Been sitting at processing since 5th June 2020 – phoned them Friday told it should be an easy renewal as passport digital picture was fine, both parents have passports so he doesn’t understand why when I told him I have seen people send it after my date have their passports – said could be printed any day to give it to this Friday coming and phone back.
Explained to them we have summer holiday end July and he said you shouldn’t have booked anything told them it has been booked and paid for since February!!!
Mother-in-law works at Northgate DWP said most of passport office staff have been drafted over to process Universal Credit claims and not expected back into their normal Passport roles before 1st July.
Need to check in a week tomorrow online for our flights also!
Understand covid-19 is a serious situation and people will be perceived as being selfish but when you have spent £4,200 on a family holiday before this all kicked off for it to have came through the infections, quarantines, lockdowns etc it really is a frustrating situation!
Passport received today. Here is my timeline. I did DM the passport office via Twitter on 20 June so not sure if this helped to get the application approved more quickly.
