Childs Passport Renewal Send Away or Wait For 1Week Service

Hi all - Ive just checked my childs passport this morning and while it is still valid it expires two weeks or so after we return from holiday to Crete Now Im bricking it as the 1 week service from the passport office seems to be down and has been for a while We are travelling on the 17th June (for a week) or are due to be travelling and his passport expires on 13th July I don't know what to do now - I would normally book the Premium or Week service but those are both down at the moment and no clue when they will be back and available Would you wait for those to come back online by say Monday 9th or would it be best just send the passport off immediately for processing Having a right panic here - if we send in an application and then appointments for the 1 week service then returns we would be out of luck Not sure what to do Wish I check this a week or so ago! Thanks for any advice
