Reading to Taunton Driver's Eye View?

I already own download copies of a few of Video125's collection, but of all the routes they've done, after a recent browse, one they don't appear to have done, but would like them to do, is the Reading to Taunton line (apart from the bit on the Weymouth-Bristol route). It's one of my favourite lines to use in the country personally, while they've done pretty much every other stretch of line of the Great West network. Does anyone know if there might be a version of this route provided in future?

I can't see why there wouldn't be an interest - it's a good length journey, with plenty of features in stations, track infrastructure and sights along the route (e.g. Newbury Racecourse and the Westbury White Horse)

I'm sure you'll find this of interest:

Do you have an approximate year for this? It's facinating to see how it's changed (or hasn't changed, as the case may be).

I haven't, but it was originally released on VHS so it was a good many years ago.

Somehow I had missed the comment on the video by the uploader saying it was 1999

225 studios have done that stretch. A 66 running from Acton Main Line to Whatley Quarry. I have the DVD. It’s very good.

Sorry to bring this back after so long: eventually video125 did a "Berks & Hants" release for a Hitachi set running from Exeter St Davids to Paddington, covering the R-T section non-stop and being up to date with Newbury electrification and the Bedwyn turnback siding extension among recent developments.

Hastings Diesels Ltd last year also uploaded footage to YouTube of a railtour of theirs that, en route to Newport, included Reading to Westbury before going down the Avon Valley; both videos I've now watched and recommend.
