Oops I just missed the bus
Back again with another Setting Saturday puzzle that I definitely forgot to submit on here earlier. I set this whilst primarily on bus rides a couple weeks ago, one time the bus driver just ignored me signalling for him to stop and drove right on by.
Rules:
- Normal sudoku rules apply.
- Anti-Diagonal: Only 3 different digits may appear on any marked diagonal.
- Renban: Digits along a pink line must form a set of non-repeating consecutive digits in any order.

Enjoy and maybe have fun if you so choose to.
Solution code: Hmm.... Row 7 please!

Like the other commenters, I found the break in remarkably difficult. But after I got it, it seems so simple. Just need to look at the right lines in the right order.
A very elegant and well crafted puzzle.

3.5* break in! Flowed well after that.

This was lovely. Very slick setting. I really struggled with the break-in for some reason, in fact lots of deductions in this felt kind of obvious in hindsight. Everything completely fair once you ask the right questions. This was a very satisfying one to finish

One of those puzzles that you celebrate not when you solve them, but when you finally manage to break in! A smooth ride once it gets started. It was fun, but I guess that was my own choice?

hmm for some reason I can't find the right angle of attack at all, I guess I'm too stupid for that one, although it bothers me that it's a 2 star

Lake: consider how boxes 3 and 9 interact with box 5 as a starting point :)
