He is also charged with attempted murder over a separate incident at Pontoon Dock transit station in London earlier the same day, and police said investigators are “looking at other possible linked offenses.”
Police say they are not treating the stabbings as an act of terror.
Williams, a British citizen from the city of Peterborough in eastern England, is due to appear in court later Monday.
The minutes-long stabbing spree spread fear and panic through a train bound from Doncaster in northern England to London on Saturday evening.
The suspect was arrested when the train made an emergency stop in the town of Huntingdon in eastern England.
Passengers described scenes of panic as bloodied travelers raced down the train to get away from the knifeman.
The most seriously wounded victim is a member of railway staff who tried to stop the attacker. Police called his actions “nothing short of heroic.”
He is hospitalized in a critical but stable condition.
