These are in addition to the charges already authorised in relation to the major incident on the train at Huntingdon.
Williams was previously charged with 10 counts of attempted murder, one count of assault occasioning actual bodily harm and one count of possession of a knife over the alleged attack on a LNER train from Doncaster to London on 1 November.
He was also charged with another count of attempted murder and possession of a knife over an incident at Pontoon Dock DLR station, in east London, earlier the same day.
Williams will appear at Peterborough Magistrates’ Court this afternoon charged with the further offences.
British Transport Police Deputy Chief Constable Stuart Cundy said: “These are a significant set of new charges.
“Our investigation into the awful incident at Huntingdon has also focused on other offences previously reported to police or identified by our investigation.
“We have worked closely with our colleagues in Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire Police alongside the Crown Prosecution Service to bring these charges.
“I would once again like to stress the importance of not saying or publishing anything which might jeopardise or prejudice ongoing criminal proceedings, or the integrity of the investigation.”
