ops at linx.net tends to cover UK outages as well as LINX (IXP) outages,
but is only for LINX members and staff.

The UK has no such "real time" report. OFTEL maintains some stats
available much after the event, but mostly in relation to switched
calls.
CANTAT-3 lands in Canada. Backhaul to the US is on CANUS-1 which
I believe is a Sprint/Teleglobe cable which lands in the same
place in Canada, and in NY the other end.
