Another encouraging post.
My husband realised on 25th May that his passport had expired and he was going away 19th June. We dithered about fast track v normal application, but on line is so much easier that we took the risk and it looks like we will be OK.
Printed today (a Sunday) after application was submitted on line evening of 25th May. They probably actually received the old passport 27th May, so passport was printed 16 days after the documents were actually received, 10 days after they were logged as received, and this with the jubilee weekend in the middle. As long as TNT is OK (fingers and toes crossed), should receive it middle of the week, so less than 3 weeks after application.
Good luck to people who are worried. I filled in the survey on the “Manage your Application” page last week and e-mailed the upgrade team (no reply) and sent a message to the twitter team asking them to note travel date on file (no reply) so have no idea whether any of those actions made a difference!
