East Brixton seems to be an irritating distance from Brixton station itself

Which, I suspect, is why it was closed.

I Googled for the Loughborough Junction platforms but I couldn't find
them. But East Brixton seems to be an incredibly short distance from
Loughborough Junction - were there really platforms at both locations?
Maybe the L'boro Jcn platforms are on the tracks for Elephant & Castle -
Denmark Hill services?

Could be, I suppose. Never really known..... I don't think LJ was ever
used for the South London Line, though, because East Brixton was, as you
say, very close.
