It's the same offence...

It's worded as exactly that.

Sorry, yes, it is the same offence then. But no-one is ever going to get charged for it so it's meaningless.
The "propelling the vehicle" argument is a contentious one and until it's actually tested in court then it's just conjecture.
My main point is that Crank vs Brooks doesn't make the bike disappear just because you're pushing it.
Martin Porter (The Cycling Lawyer) believes that it's against the law to dismount and push a bike across a stop line at a red light. He also believes that it would be OK to dismount and carry the bike across a stop line at a red light as that does not constitute 'propelling it across the line'.

Of course, you're not cycling when pushing a bicycle. The offence here isn't "propelling a vehicle past this sign".
