Official description

Roland and his fellow captives at Amsoft decide to escape from the clutches of their masters and catch the 16.45 freight train from Brentwood station. After many hours cooped-up in this uncomfortable means of transport, they decide to try and jump out on to the back of passing lorries that are travelling on a busy road close to the railway line in a small village outside of Guildford. Unfortunately, their final hideouts are on the other side of the road. They must jump from the back of these lorries to the back of those passing in the opposite direction and then jump to to the hideouts.

The journey having been tiring, you must assist Roland and his colleagues by adjusting the speed of the train to make the leap to freedom easier. The ease of this task is dependent upon the initial difficulty level chosen.
