In Facebook, an user Curtis Parish‎ have been sent the message to Sam Wilkinson (Railway Consultant for the TV series since Season 17) in a day later when he got the reply from Sam as he said:
"Hi Curtis, Thanks for you message. At present there is only the released version of Thomas & The Magic Railroad which is available in most countries on DVD and some on Blu-ray. It's not possible to just release any content on both platforms in every country in the world, but where practical and possible, content is made available to as many countries as possible. I'm aware of the various campaigns for a Directors Cut of the film and admire the fans dedications to see the Britt's original vision of the film. There is a project ongoing for this, but it is not an easy task to achieve, with the time, knowledge and resources currently available. As, if and when any more information comes to light about the Director's cut, will make sure fans are the first to know. All I can say for now is, keep up the support and encourage as many of your friends and fellow fans to support the campaigns. Kind Regards Sam"
