By Steve Holden Newsbeat reporter in Winchester (L-R) Sonia Arkhipkina, Julian Yon, Barbara Short-Pardo and Caitlin Burston <\/p>\n
Eighteen-year-old Barbara Short-Pardo remembers quite clearly the first time she had to use a train. <\/p>\n
\"It was really weird having to change platforms,\" she says. \"Even using the little ticket machines, I was just so shocked.\" <\/p>\n
It's not necessarily that shocking for people living in the UK, but it can be strange for a Falkland islander, used to living 8,000 miles from the British mainland. <\/p>\n
Barbara's friend, 17-year-old Sonia Arkhipkina, says there isn't much need for any public transport on the islands, especially in the main town of Stanley. <\/p>\n
(On her identity) You're a bit of both, you're British and a Falkland islander <\/p>\n
\"It takes about 10 minutes to get from one end to the other. I think it's impossible to get lost.\" <\/p>\n
Barbara and Sonia are among the small contingent from the Falklands currently boarding at Peter Symonds College in Winchester. <\/p>\n
A group of students are flown over by the Falklands authorities every year to study their A-levels. <\/p>\n
They've been speaking about growing up on the islands, 30 years since the Falklands war between the UK and Argentina. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
