A spokesman for GTR said it was pleased Aslef "must not induce" its drivers to refuse to operate the new 12-car trains.
He said: "Gatwick Express services have operated without conductors operating the doors for 17 years, so we were never able to understand why the Aslef union objected to the operation of these new trains in the same way.
