Just out of curiousity , how far do the sidings at Brixton go?

1200 feet beyond the platform end.

I've heard the tunnel goes halfway to streatham

More in the direction of Herne Hill - it ends under Somerleyton Road if
I remember correctly but, as I say, it stretches less than 1/4 of mile
from the station.

Can you fit many trains down there or is it used for storage of some
sort?

There's enough room to start the morning service from the south end of
the Victoria line - I thinks that's 8 trains in all (3 in each of the
tunnels and 2 in the platforms).
