Application submitted 10:14am on 26 June 2020Update to where I am.
Royal Mail delivered the old passport on Monday 29th June. I called the Passport Office on Friday and I got a call back yesterday. They told me the mail room was taking 2 weeks to process and put old documents onto the system.Couldn’t in any way put a note on our application of travel date the only way to speed anything up was if your travel is for an emergency or bereavement. They didn’t even ask for my reference number so I think these are just how it is at the moment. Also DM on twitter Friday but no reply. All hope lost, travel plans are looking likely to be cancelled.
Then had an email this morning saying they have recieved old documents. That was 6 days after receiving them. So I am now a little more hopeful of making it on 1st Aug. The roller coaster ride that is passport applications.

Application submitted 10:14am on 26 June 2020AndyH I am in the exact same boat as you. Also travelling on 1st Aug, also realised my child’s passport had run out in February, massive face palm moment.
I am a couple of days ahead of you though. I submitted my application and did all the necessary things on Friday 26th June. Sent old passport also to Durham by Track and trace. My progress is saying they have not received it yet but the royal mail tracking said it was signed for on Monday morning at 8am. Giving it 1 more day before I ring to find out where it is.
I will update with any progress so hopefully that helps.
