@philip I think it'll be weeks or months, more likely months, before it's fixed.
It will remain fixed for a period of days or weeks.
Then it will break down again.
Some context for people seeing this outside Melbourne: Box Hill is the main commercial "hub" of Melbourne's eastern suburbs. It's not yet a second downtown, but there's some suggestions it could eventually become one.
There's a growing number of tall office buildings and apartment towers. I took some photos last time I was in Melbourne: https://pixelfed.social/p/ajsadauskas/911568051347668761
At the centre is a multimodal transport Interchange called Box Hill Central.
Underneath is a train station on two lines running from the centre of Melbourne to the outer eastern suburbs. On the ground floor is a shopping centre, market, and large food court. Nearby is a tram line and an under-construction metro.
And on the rooftop is a major bus station that serves multiple bus lines across Melbourne's eastern suburbs. I think about 12 or 14 in total?
There's whole suburbs where the sole connection to the rest of Melbourne's public transport network is a bus that runs to Box Hill Central.
Anyone transferring from those busses to a connecting train or tram, or travelling to Box Hill, depends on this one escalator.

A 71yr old women was hit-and-run while crossing Sydney Rd (near Barkly St) yesterday.
Police are yet to locate the driver but have CCTV footage of them.
Sydney Rd is a major shopping street where people need to access shops on both sides of the street. This women was crossing 100m from the nearest southern pedestrian crossing and 150m from the nearest northern crossing.
Sydney Rd is busy and difficult to cross because there is no space in the middle to safely wait. When I cross I wait a long time for both ways to be clear or for traffic to backup.
For a 71yr old this isn't possible because it requires that you can move pretty fast.
The fact that it's 40km/h is probably what prevented this crash from being instantly deadly.
For such a dense shopping street (there are 1800 shops along here) it's absurd that there isn't a crossing every 50m.
