Summation U-Bahn series created by
Agent is one of the greatest puzzle series on LMD. As a tribute to him, I created this puzzle, which integrates Sudoku as in my previous puzzles. Hope you enjoy it!
Thank you

Rules
- Sudoku: Fill the grid with digits 1-9, so that no digit repeats in the same row, column, or 3×3 box.
- U-Bahn: Draw a totally connected network through the centers of some cells, which may branch or turn, but may not have any dead ends.
- Summation: Assign U-Bahn line shapes to numbers (regardless of rotation) as follows:
- Empty = 0
- Corner = 1
- Straight line = 2
- Branch = 3
- Cross = 4
A cell's value equals the sum of its digit and the number for its line shape.
Clues outside the grid represent the sum of values in each contiguous sequence of cells visited by the loop network, in the order of appearance from left to right or top to bottom. Consecutive sequences must be separated by at least one cell not visited by the loop network.
- Cypher: Each letter represents a different digit from 0 to 9. '?' represents any digit from 0 to 9. For a double-digit number, its first digit cannot be 0.

Hint if you are stuck at the beginning:
The upper limit of a two-cell sequence summation on the perimeter is 19; and for a three-cell sequence, it's 29.
Hint if you are stuck when it's about to finish:
There is a Y-wing in box 7 and 8 on digits 4, 6, and 7.
Lösungscode: For each column except the last, from left to right, the number of lines leading right from that column; followed by values of row 2, X for any value >= 10. (17 digits in total)

Great puzzle! You have to be careful with the arithmetic here, it can be easy to make a counting mistake.

Great twist on the Summation U-Bahn, the arithmetic works very nicely!
