Not quite as fast or nice as taking the train, but megabus shows bus  
journeys between London and Birmingham around GUADEC time for £5 each  
way.

Although the problem in that case is that you have to get from  
Stansted to central London, which on the Stansted Express train is  
about £23 each.  I'm not sure how much buses from Stansted to the  
city centre cost, but the airport website should give you some  
information at least.
