So what am I missing - I did something like 15 runs with 2 passenger / and
or mail cars well before the gold deadline, and some all the way back home
before the final bronze deadline was up. They were direct links, but there
were also some food cars which came first from further west before linking
to Constantinople. Could it be it only wants proper cargo, ie non
passengers? This place shows up as Constan on the map - is this an
abbreviation, or is there another Constantinople hidden away!?

It has to be a non stop run from Paris to Constantinople. If you stopped at
any place on the way, it doesn't count.
Passengers are fine; in fact I would rarely bother with anything except
passengers and mail in this scenario. It sounds like you might have
connected to Constanta in Rumania instead of to Constantinople.
Constantinople is about one screen due south of Constanta; along the
coast there's just Varna and Burgas in between.
Best wishes,
