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.
