Virgin and Stagecoach had promised new services from Leeds, York, Bradford, Harrogate and Huddersfield.
The West Yorkshire Combined Authority, which oversees transport, has now written to the Transport Secretary, Chris Grayling, asking if they'll still go ahead.
The letter says: "Businesses in our region have been planning on the basis of a significant in direct services between our towns and cities and London which have now been placed in doubt.
"Part of the doubt stems from the fact that no decision has been made on who will run the trains."
Mr Grayling has said he is considering two approaches to the future of the East Coast service.
One option is to allow Stagecoach to continue operating the franchise on a short-term and not-for-profit basis until a new contract is awarded in 2020.
Alternatively, East Coast Mainline could be brought back under government control and be run by the Department for Transport through an operator of last resort.
