There are two main bus stations in Mandalay. Chan-Mya-Shwe-Pyi Bus station is the main one which is 4.2 km(12 min drive) from downtown. Another bus station is Pyi-Gyi-Myat-Shin, it is for the buses to His-paw, Lashio.
I won't recommend the train for this trip because the bus will be a faster and more convenient way to Mandalay. The train will reach Mandalay central railway station which is 2.4 km(7 min drive) from downtown.
