Naturalisation- Passport application

I submitted my citizenship application yesterday via the Nationality checking service. I didn't realise (until I was asked) that I could have applied for a passport at the same time. Am I still in time to submit the request separately?

No you cannot. You will now only be able to apply once you have attended your ceremony.

Thank you :D

Any idea if it is quicker to get naturalised without a passport request?

No, it makes no difference. Naturalisation is dealt by a different department to passports.
