It reported that a bus has been totally destroyed by fire at a petrol filling station on the Brighton Road at Lewes. The photo accompanying the report shows it to be a completely burnt out shell. More here.
Accompanying the Facebook report are a number comments with one of them featuring a roadside view of the front of the vehicle showing only the front bumper and number plate being untouched by the fire. It can, therefore, be easily be identified as R70 PTS, a Scania N230UD OmniCity previously owned by the PTS Group (Wrights Coaches). We reported in June that it had passed to Seaford & District.

Numbered 707 in the Seaford Fleet, this vehicle entered service in as acquired allover white livery and ran without fleet names. The bus performed local School work and Railway contracts, seen at Ashford on replacement railway more recently and had been to Gatwick on the night/morning of it's demise.
