Distance/travel time in 1901

So, I have a possible passenger on a ship to Australia. My problem is, I don't know if he could have made the ship or not. He was living in Essendine, Rutland, and the ship left from London. Mapquest tells me that it is around 95 miles. It's possible he came by rail, as I know it went through Essendine. He was present in the 1901 census on 31st march 1901, the ship left 5th April 1901. Would he have been able to make the journey in this time?

Thanks in advance.
