They’ve introduced a new stage I think where it just says printed and then you will get another text once it is with TNT for delivery. 17 March approval, printed this afternoon but not yet sent – expect about a week door to door to receive my passport.

Personally I think there isn’t a further text and in fact HMPO are trying to distance themselves from the delays in the TNT system by ambiguous talk of ‘a few days’ etc and removing the ‘printing and sent’ update replacing it with printed – they are deliberately obfuscating the timescales around delivery to give themselves maximum wiggle room!
