I note that the coalition government have actually known there would be a surge in demand for passports in the UK for nearly a year now, due to overseas embassies having to shut down their passport services.
"Paul Pugh, head of the Identity and Passport Service, estimated in a report published on 4 July last year there would be an extra 350,000 applications to UK-based centres in 2014 (pdf). This was because of overseas embassies shutting their passport desks and transferring operations to Britain, he said."

(Fortunately my own passport doesn't expire until 2018,so I won't be affected just yet.Pip,pip).
