A video shows water crashing against the front window of the 99 service from Hastings to Eastbourne as it enters the flooded area in Westcourt Drive on Saturday (November 4).
The bus then stops at the side of the road, the driver opens its doors and water can be seen pouring onto the street from inside the vehicle.
Responding to the incident, a spokesman for Stagecoach said: “We are aware of this incident and are taking it extremely seriously.
