Date Passport received: 07 December 2018

Notes:
-I sent two Travel Documents with all my travels up to April 2018 and the rest of the year was covered by letter from my employer. I also provided a letter from my previous employer and 3 years' worth of P60s just to drown them in evidence.
-I emailed the HO on two dates (late October and 5 November) and got a standard "will take a while" reply the first time, the second time, however, I requested information on whether anything was posted to me and they actually replied that nothing had been.
-I will post an update later re passport as I might have issues, having changed my name after getting married but as a refugee being unable to change the 'previous nationality' passport. Could be fun.

Passport tracking link used and generic responses from HMPO got: 28 November 2018
Letter from passport office asking for original of last Travel Document: 30 November 2018 (dated 28.11.2018)

I'll post my experience with getting a passport in a different name in the relevant topic here.

Good luck to everybody!
