There are two direct trains between Mumbai and Mysore, the Sharavati Express and the Ajmer Mysore Express

There are two direct trains between Mumbai and Mysore, the Sharavati Express and the Ajmer Mysore Express. These are weekly /biweekly express trains.

Sharavathi Express (Train No:11035) operates on Tuesdays from Dadar (DR) station on Tuesdays to Mysore Junction (MYS).

It takes about 24 hours by Sharavathi Express to reach Mysore. This train leaves Dadar by 9.30 in the night and reaches Mysore railway station around the same time next day.

The second direct option is the long distance Ajmer Mysore Express (Train No:16209) that connects Ajmer in Rajasthan with Mysore. You need to get to Kalyan Jn (KYN) to catch this train.   The train leaves Kalyan Jn (Saturdays and Mondays) by 1.10 past midnight and reaches Mysore after 7 in the morning, making it a 30 hour journey between Kalyan and Mysore.
 About the return routes, Sharavati Express ( Train No:11036) leaves Mysore Junction every Thursdays by 6.15 in the morning. On the other hand the Rajasthan bound Ajmer Express (Train No:16210) leaves Mysore on every Tuesdays and Thursdays 6.15 in the evening.

Both  Ajmer Express and Sharavati Express follow more or less the same route between Mumbai and Mysore up to Arsikere Junction (ASK).

From there Sharavati Express takes a southward direct route to Mysore via Hassan. On the other hand Ajmer Express travel via Bangalore which is a bit longer route. Otherwise the route between Mumbai and Mysore is via Pune, Belgaum and Hubli.

If the direct trains are not an option for you try to split the journey into two. In this case you can chose between two major train routes between Mumbai and Mysore. The first route is Mumbai-Bangalore- Mysore and the second route is Mumbai - Mangalore- Mysore.
