I was wondering, was the GOBLin built after the tube lines?

Going line by line:
- The Northern Line was built to interchange with it, at Kentish Town,
which has since been removed from the route.
- The Goblin was built after the Central Line station (though it
wasn't the Central Line then), and the Goblin station is about as
close as it could be without completely changing the Goblin's route.
- The Piccadilly Line people chose to connect with tram interchanges
at Manor House and Turnpike Lane instead. At the time, they were
trying to improve journey times along the whole line by closing
stations, so three stations in the area would have been considered
excessive.
- The Victoria Line crosses it near Seven Sisters (I believe it stays
north of the Goblin all the way to Walthamstow Central). There is a
reasonable interchange between South Tottenham and Seven Sisters.

One useful change not mentioned yet (in this thread at least, though
we've certainly been here before!) is the Upper Holloway to Archway/
Northern line (non-)interchange.

What is the best term for describing such an interchange - an out-of-
station interchange might be a good one, but in ticketing terminology
that means a journey where a change that involves transfer between
stations on the street can be completed on a single ticket. Using the
phrase 'out-of-station interchange' where through tickets might not be
valid would perhaps just serve to confuse things.
