A sentence about getting sick on a coach
And the one that bothers me the most. I've been given three sentences that make absolutely no sense to me, but perhaps I don't really get the context.
When I go by a coach, I'll always feel sick.
When I go in a coach, I'm always feeling sick.
When I go on a coach, I always feel sick.
I'm not familiar with if it's a train coach or a ship coach, but I'm sure it won't matter to you as only one of these sentences is gramatically correct and you'll probably be able to figure it out.

Yes, but is a coach something you go ON, or you go IN? I'm quite sure it's a ship coach, I'm just not sure what it looks like, if it's something you stand on or you get in.

The last one is the best of the 3, but I would say:
When I go by coach, I always feel sick.
A coach is a large bus, typically used by tour companies. Many people are susceptible to motion sickness - mostly seasickness (travel by ship). Getting motion sickness when traveling by car or bus can happen.
