The train to Mysore leaves daily, according to many different scheduled departures (more than 15 trains leave from Bangalore to Mysore daily).
Train travel is SO different from air travel. You dont "check your bags in". You dont "walk through security". (Passengers are free to step aboard brandishing swords, of course, but I feel domestic travel security is a bit much, and so it is nice to just "board and go". I will take my chances and hope the swordsman boarded another car.) You simply buy your ticket and get on the train. And on most, you sit wherever you desire.
I had travelled to Mysore from Bangalore in a car once before, which was obviously a great experience, having a driver who took me on a personalized tour to different places, which was fabulous!
For this targetted trip, the train took the same amount of time. About 3 hours. As we were going for 1 day and returning that same night, the train was a good option. It was one of the best travel experiences on which I can report. The beautiful scenery was simply....AMAZING.
India is so green....lots of sugarcane fields and palm trees in the countryside view from the train.
As I mentioned prior, I will take this train again while in Bangalore. I enjoyed it very much.

The train leaves the Bangalore station and arrives in Mysore in a little over 3 hours, depending on timing and route options. It is an absolute breath-taking experience, as you look out the windows which you can raise and lower, or you can sleep the entire trip on (a minimal) cushioned seating that is designated for lying down. Pictures here illustrate the scenery from this particular trip....
