Describe an enjoyable journey by public transport.

You should say:

• Where you were going 
• Who you were with
• What happened during the journey
• And explain why it was enjoyable

One of the most enjoyable journeys I had by public transport was a trip to the beach with my friends last summer. We were going to a beautiful coastal town called Brighton, which is famous for its pebble beach and lively atmosphere. I was with three of my closest friends, and we were all excited to spend the day by the sea. During the journey, we took a train from London, and it took about an hour. The train was comfortable, and we had a lot of fun chatting, laughing, and even playing some card games. The scenery outside the window was also amazing—green fields, small villages, and finally, the sparkling blue sea as we got closer to Brighton. What made this journey so enjoyable was the combination of good company and the anticipation of a fun day ahead. My friends and I hadn’t seen each other for a while, so we had a lot to catch up on. The train ride felt short because we were having such a great time together. When we arrived, we felt refreshed and ready to enjoy the beach. It was a simple trip, but the laughter and shared excitement made it unforgettable.
