Status never changed and honestly following this forum and seeing loads of people receiving their passports within a month timeframe is frustrating and tearing my hair out. So many calls and chats and even asking for help from MP got me nowhere. 11 weeks and counting.

I had to go to the London Passport Office to basically cry there to get this moving forward. If your documents are in Durham office, you have all reasons to worry about your application if it is over 10 weeks. Just call the helpline press 8 and 3 in order to talk to someone to get a meaningful update.

Visited London office last week and was told that my application was in Durham while I submitted it to Bootle.

Tried emailing them but no help. Missed my flight because of that. Tried calling 8 and 3, they said my application had only been with them for 6 weeks (they logged it in the system on the 17th May). It is absurd.
