Can you visit the Palace of Mysore, as a day trip by train from Bangalore?
score:6
As far as I can tell the second-last train to Bangalore from Mysore leaves at 8:30 PM (Mysore-Chennai Kaveri Express #16221, ~3 hours). The palace itself closes at 5:30 PM. The illumination timings are only on weekends and public holidays, and begin at 7 PM (and end at 7:30 on Saturday and 8 on Sunday anyway). That should leave you plenty of time to reach the train station after (it's just a little bit over one mile (or a little bit under 2 km)).
There is another train back at 12:30 AM (Mysore-Howrah Express #22818 (Monday morning only) ~2.5hrs).
If you decide you want to stick around for the night, you can take a 5:30 AM train back to Bangalore the next morning (Mysore-Sainagar Shirdi Express (Mondays only) #16217 ~3 hrs). If that's too early, there's another one leaving at 6:45 AM (Mysore-Bangalore Chamundi Express #16215 ~3hrs)
As for getting there you have plenty of options, from a 4 AM train (Ajmer-Mysore Express (Sundays only) #16209 ~3 hrs) from Bangalore to 8:15 AM (Bangalore-Mysore Rajya Rani Express #16558 ~3 hrs) to 11 AM (Chennai-Mysore Shatabdi #12007 ~2 hrs).
Book your tickets on the Indian Railways website in advance to avoid nasty last-minute surprises.

You can easily visit Mysore Palace in one day and travel back to Bangalore.
When I was working in Bangalore, we started early in the morning by state transport bus avoiding the traffic. You can find several buses plying regularly between Bangalore and Mysore. One can get a bus for Mysore from the main city bus stand (Majestic).
The most economical option to travel to Mysore from Bangalore is to board an air-conditioned Volvo Bus that departs from the Karnataka Road Transport Corporation (KSRTC) City Bus Stand. The buses depart from here at regular 20 minute intervals to the Mysore Bus Station, which is just 1 km from the Mysore Palace.
KSRTC City Bus Reservation Number: 0821 - 2425819/9980915215
Mysore City Bus Stand Number: +(91)-(821)-2425819
Mysore Suburban Bus Station Number: 0821 – 2520853
It is best to visit on weekends and time your visit so that you do not miss the illumination timings.
You can also visit the Brindavan Gardens while in Mysore. Be sure to catch the musical fountains while there.
