Anthony Williams has been charged with ten counts of attempted murder, one count of actual bodily harm and one count of possession of bladed article following the knife attack on on Saturday, British Transport Police (BTP) said.
Officers said the 32-year-old, from Peterborough, is facing an additional charge of attempted murder in relation to an incident on London's DLR network in the early hours of November 1.
Eleven passengers on board a 6:25pm LNER train from Doncaster to London King's Cross were injured in the savage knife attack.
Of the victims treated in hospital, four people were later discharged while two patients, including a "hero" train worker, remained in a life-threatening condition, police said.
The train was forced to make an unscheduled stop at Huntingdon in Cambridgeshire roughly an hour into the journey. The train driver has been hailed for "doing the right thing" amidst the ordeal.
Officers initially arrested two men, aged 32 and 35, but said on Sunday that the 32-year-old man was being treated as the only suspect. The force added that they have recovered a knife at the scene.
Williams appeared at Peterborough Magistrates' Court this morning, Monday, November 3. He appeared in court handcuffed to two officers and was wearing a grey tracksuit and had a thick, black beard.
The court decided not to grant bail to Williams due to the seriousness of the offences. He was told by Judge Sheraton that he will appear at Cambridge Crown Court on December 1, 2025.
Tracy Easton, chief crown prosecutor for CPS Direct, said following the charges: "The Crown Prosecution Service has decided to prosecute Anthony Williams with 11 counts of attempted murder, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and two counts of possession of a bladed article – following a police investigation into an incident on a LNER train from Doncaster to London on Saturday 01 November 2025.
"Our team of out-of-hours prosecutors worked to establish that there is sufficient evidence to bring the case to trial and it is in the public interest to pursue criminal proceedings.
"We worked closely with British Transport Police to review a huge volume of evidence including CCTV. The number of charges will be kept under review as this continues to progress.
"We know the devastating impact the events on Saturday’s train has had and how the incident shocked the entire country. Our thoughts remain with all those affected."
