The pair, whose addresses were given as Willbury Road, Farnham, will appear at Staines Magistrates’ Court.
Mr Pomeroy, who lived in Guildford and owned an IT firm, was travelling with his 14-year-old son on Friday afternoon when he was attacked.
A police manhunt led them to a flat in Willbury Road on Saturday morning and they made two arrests.
In a statement, the family portrayed him as a cultured man, who loved his 50-year-old wife Svetlana Pomeroy.
“He was a devoted family man and did everything for his family,” they said.
Mr Pomeroy and his son boarded the 12.58pm train service between Guildford and London Waterloo at London Road station on Friday afternoon.
Police believe a brief row broke out leading to Mr Pomeroy’s death.
Both suspects will appear in court in custody.
