The
only direct public transport between London's Gatwick and Stansted
airports are the National Express coaches which shuttle between
the two airports. Note - there is no direct train service.
Having said that the direct coach route is no quicker overall than
indirect routes between
Gatwick and Stansted via Central London.
The big advantage of using the National Express coach is that you
have none of the stress of making connections using the London Underground
or taxi services. Scheduled journey times are around 3 hours, most
services operate via Heathrow Airport.
