I noticed that as well but I'm not reading too much in to it as the xx:41 services appearing previously were semi-fasts to Greenbank (there some strong objections from MCRUA to some stations losing direct Chester services) and the initial request for paths for an xx:09 all-stops to Chester didn't get approved. However, changing the Chester to the xx:41 path could also be to reduce the number of diagrams required as the previous plan was for diagrams to run a return Chester working followed by a return Greenbank working.
