I do this journey often, and I personally take the National Express
because it is cheaper than the Train. However it does take a long
time.

It is best to book in advance via the website http://www.nationalexpress.com

You need to enter into the boxes:
Stansted Airport
Birmingham

This is a large coach that goes from the Airport. It is much cheaper
to book a return than to book a single. If you are young you can buy a
discount card but which may work out cheaper if you ever come back to
the UK.
