Update

I got my daughter’s passport! I ended up buying a cheap one way flight to Toulouse for Wednesday and then went down to my local passport office (Newport) this morning. We were there about 2 hours before it opened but there were still several people in front including someone who had been told to travel from London to Newport!
Anyway, we filled out a form and they promised to call back today. An hour or so later, I got a call from Belfast who wanted confirmation of the flight which I emailed. Belfast rang back two hours later to say that the passport was being printed there and then and to come and get it when we wanted. I made my daughter go down there straight away but I didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until it was in my hands.
They will not print a passport unless you have only 48 until the flight but you don’t have to go to the passport office where the application has been sent.

Hope this helps people.

I’ll be ringing first thing tomorrow and seriously considering turning up at my local passport office to get this finally sorted. I need to order my medical supplies now without which h I can’t go on holiday anyway. I’ll update you all tomorrow.

Thanks Holly. I’ll be calling first thing tomorrow. I’m absolutely beyond worried about this. Reading all these posts just emphasises how broken the system is!
