Brexit uncertainty regarding travel plans

My passport expires on 31/3/20.
I am going to Germany on 16/10/19 on a single ticket.
My plan is to return in November; a few days after the Brexit deadline of 31/10/19.
I'm fairly confident that I'll be allowed to leave the country (I checked here https://www.gov.uk/check-a-passport-for-travel-to-europe)
However, I need some assurances that I'll be ok to leave on a single ticket because the website is a little ambiguous. It asks if I'll be travelling after the 31/10/19. As I mention I'll be departing before that date, but returning afterwards.
Does anyone know, I'm not too late to get a new passport, but I'd have to go for the fast service which is about an extra £100.
Many thanks in advance.

Does your passport include any months carried over from the previous passport? If 'no deal ' happens, any time carried over doesn't count towards the 6 months validity required. I have had to renew mine 15 months in advance of the expiry date. It seems that you need to say 'yes' to the question about travelling after Oct 31st.sanfairyanne wrote: »My passport expires on 31/3/20.

When you depart, you will be travelling from one EU country to another. Your passport is valid so you will not face questions: after all, under the present law you have the right to live and work in Germany indefinitely.
For comparison, I entered Poland earlier this week. The official checked my passport carefully but there were no questions, and I did not show any kind of ticket.0 -

I would agree.
You are leaving the U.K and entering Germany on a date when we are still in the EU - nothing therefore has changed.
I see no problem with your travel schedule.0
